  • Title: [Acute arsenic poisoning].
    Author: Johansen JB, Abildtrup A, Ebbehøj NE, Kristensen SR, Eshøj O.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1996 Jul 15; 158(29):4201-2. PubMed ID: 8701539.
    Abstract:
    We report three cases of arsenic poisoning in a chemical factory. Three workers were exposed to vinyzene 10,10'-oxydephenarsine and developed mild symptoms of acute poisoning. All patients were treated with dimercaprol, and recovered after a few days. Urine analysis did not show increased arsenic excretion, but this could be due to the large urine samples taken. It is recommended that a urine sample is taken right after admission to hospital and new samples after eight and 16 hours.
