The incidence of intoxications by fungi especially by Amanita phalloides in the district of Trenčín in Trenčín in Slovakia with 179 000 inhabitans during last 40 years was analysed. By the complex therapy included haemodialysis, haemoperfusis and the high dose penicillin therapy introduced since 1971 lethality of poisoning by Amanita phalloides was reduced from 25 to 8,33 %. The obtained data lead to the presumption that the real incidence of fungal poisoning in Czechoslovakia may be several times higher than stated in the literature.
