Abstract
1 A woman developed severe mercury intoxication from ingestion of about 2.5 g of mercuric chloride. 2 Antidotal treatment with a dithiol (BAL i.m.) and a monothiol (tiopronin i.v.) was started promptly. 3 Dialysis treatment thereafter markedly increased the elimination of mercury, thus hastening recovery. 4 It is suggested that chelating agents associated with dialysis are an effective treatment for mercury poisoning.Entities:
