Speleotherapeutic radon exposure of a child suffering from juvenile chronic arthritis.

A Falkenbach1.   

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Should a child be exposed to radon for therapeutic purposes? CASE REPORT: We report on a 7-year-old boy with juvenile chronic arthritis who experienced good pain relief after therapeutic radon exposure. DISCUSSION: Controversy exists whether children should be exposed to radon for therapeutic purposes. Benefit and risk of therapeutic radon exposure should be discussed more objectively and not emotionally.
