  • Title: Domestic metallic mercury poisoning.
    Author: McNeil NI, Issler HC, Olver RE, Wrong OM.
    Journal: Lancet; 1984 Feb 04; 1(8371):269-71. PubMed ID: 6143006.
    Abstract:
    In a family exposed to metallic mercury vapour two patients had acrodynia, one had the nephrotic syndrome, and one person remained well. Recognition of the variable manifestations of the disease and prevention of further exposure were the most important aspects of management. Recovery appeared to be complete as blood mercury levels fell to normal. Urinary mercury levels were too variable to be reliable as indications of progress.
