Mycotoxins and human health risks. An overview.

The history, mycology, chemistry and clinical symptoms of human health risks associated with mycotoxins are outlined for Amanita toxins, ergot alkaloids, pink rot disease (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum toxins), alimentary toxic aleukia (T-2 toxin), yellowed rice syndrome (Penicillium toxins) and Balkan nephropathy (ochratoxins). Aflatoxin poisoning is discussed in more detail with case reports of acute poisonings from Taiwan, Kenya, Uganda, Thailand, New Zealand, Czechoslovakia, USA and Germany. Possible associations with Indian hepatitis and childhood cirrhosis are considered and results of studies on aflatoxins and liver cancer in Uganda, Thailand, Mozambique, Kenya, Swaziland and the Philippines are summarized. Epidemiological studies associating aflatoxins with chemicals, hepatitis B virus, parasitic infections and other cancers are also mentioned.
