Evidence for a neuromuscular disorder in methylmercury poisoning.

H Rustam, R Von Burg, L Amin-Zaki, S El Hassani.   

Abstract

Data suggestive of a neuromuscular disorder responsive to neostigmine was uncovered in the course of electrophysiological testing of Iraqi patients poisoned by methylmercury. Subsequent neostigmine therapy produced a remarkable clinical improvement of the patients. Placebo substitution resulted in a substantial loss of testable strength that was restored when drug therapy was resumed.
