Alimentary toxic aleukia
Alimentary toxic aleukia, is a mycotoxin-induced condition characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, leukopenia (aleukia), hemorrhaging, skin inflammation, and sometimes death.[1] Alimentary toxic aleukia almost always refers to the human condition associated with presence of T2 Toxin.
History[edit | edit source]
Alimentary toxic aleukia was first characterized in the early 19th century after affecting a large population in the Orenburg district of the former U.S.S.R. during World War II. The sick people had eaten overwintered grain colonized with Fusarium sporotrichioides and Fusarium poae.[2]
