  • Title: Gold induced encephalopathy: case report.
    Author: Perry RP, Jacobsen ES.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1984 Apr; 11(2):233-4. PubMed ID: 6327982.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case with neurologic disease manifested as encephalopathy, generalized muscle fasciculations, and peripheral neuropathy occurring in a patient treated with therapeutic doses of gold for presumed rheumatoid arthritis. The illness remitted promptly during chelation therapy with dimercaprol (BAL). A review of the limited experience in the literature with the central nervous system toxicity of gold is given.
