Acute mercury vapor poisoning. Fatality in an infant.

M E Moutinho, A L Tompkins, T W Rowland, B B Banson, A H Jackson.   

Abstract

A 7-month-old girl succumbed to respiratory failure following exposure to high-density mercury vapor produced by heating of the metal in the home. Her course typified inhalation mercury toxic reaction, which in its focus on pulmonary damage creates a clinical picture distinct from that of chronic and oral mercury poisoning.
