Abstract

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.
