1 A woman developed severe mercury intoxication from ingestion of about 2.5 g of mercuric chloride.

2 Antidotal treatment with a dithiol (BAL i.m.) and a monothiol (tiopronin i.v.) was started promptly.

3 Dialysis treatment thereafter markedly increased the elimination of mercury, thus hastening recovery.

4 It is suggested that chelating agents associated with dialysis are an effective treatment for mercury poisoning.
