EE, Dirheimer G.

Several pathological cases including primitive hepatomas, Reye's

syndrome, alimentary toxic aleukaemia, were encountered in two

different Tunisian Sahel hospitals. Contamination of some nutriments

of the patients by mycotoxins (aflatoxins, trichothecenes, ochratoxin

A, citrinin) are most likely involved in the origin of these diseases.
