TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Domestic metallic mercury poisoning JO - Lancet A1 - McNeil, N. I. A1 - Issler, H. C. A1 - Olver, R. E. A1 - Wrong, O. M. SP - 269 EP - 271 VL - 1 IS - 8371 N2 - 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.
