> In the month of October, a 64-year old man developed postprandial
> abdominal pain and vomiting.  He had been feeling well until passing out
> during a banquet in which he had consumed a large quantity of wine and a
> variety of dishes, of which one composed of mushrooms was a long-time
> favorite.  On regaining consciousness a short time later, he complained of
> severe abdominal pain.  He vomited and felt somewhat better.
>       Prior to this illness, the patient had enjoyed reasonably good
> health for over a decade. However, early in life he had been sickly.  He
> was born prematurely (after 7 mos. gestation) and as a child, suffered
> from a succession of obstinate disorders, including milk allergy and
> frequent febrile illnesses.  He is also believed to have had malaria,
> measles (complicated by unilateral deafness), erysipelas and colitis.
> Since early childhood, he had had weakness of both legs so pronounced that
> he limped noticeably and could ambulate no further than short distances
> without assistance.  He had long-standing, intention tics and jerks of his
> head and hands, as well as stammering and drooling, which were most
> pronounced when he was excited.  He was also prone to fits of
> inappropriate laughter.  He regularly ate and drank to excess, rarely
> leaving his dining room until he was both "stuffed and soaked."  Thus, it
> was not unusual for him to fall asleep immediately after dining and have
> to be carried unconscious to his bed.  He had gained considerable weight
> in recent years and had been complaining bitterly of episodes of heartburn
> so frequent and severe that he contemplated suicide as a means of relief.
>       The patient's father died of trauma at age 28; his mother committed
> suicide at age 73.  He had one brother who had died at age 34 of a
> mysterious illness manifested by progressive wasting with terminal
> acrocyanosis and a trunkal rash.  His sister was executed  for adultery at
> age 34.  There was no family history of neurological abnormalities similar
> to the patient's.
>       The patient was born in France, but had spent most of his life in
> Italy.  He had been married four times and had also had numerous
> heterosexual relationships, including several with prostitutes.  He had
> three children, all of whom were alive and well at the time of his
> illness.  He was a politician, and an historian.
>       Physical examination showed an obese man in moderate distress.  The
> temperature was normal.  The eyes were injected.  The hearing was impaired
> unilaterally.  The abdomen was mildly tender throughout.  The voice was
> hoarse and indistinct.  The patient stammered uncontrollably in response
> to questioning with considerable slobbering and rhinorrhea.  The neck
> muscles were enlarged.  The muscles of his upper extremities were well
> developed and strong, whereas those of both lower extremities, especially
> the calves, were weak and atrophied.  When the patient walked, he dragged
> his right foot.
>       A physician induced additional vomiting by placing a feather in the
> back of the patient's throat.  Shortly thereafter the patient's condition
> deteriorated.  He became confused and exhibited signs of unremitting
> abdominal pain and fecal incontinence.  He expired 12 hours after the
> onset of his illness.
