Subcutaneous injection of elemental mercury is a very rare situation. The authors report the case of a 31-year-old man who accidentally injected an unknown quantity of metallic mercury into his left forearm. Several surgical procedures were required to reduce the blood and urinary levels of mercury. However, the patient never developed clinical signs of chronic poisoning. This observation confirms the lower risk of acute or chronic poisoning in subcutaneous injection of mercury and the need for early excision of contaminated tissue.
皮下注射元素汞是一种非常罕见的情况。作者报告了一名31岁男性的病例，该患者意外将未知量的金属汞注射到他的左前臂。需要进行几次外科手术以降低血液和尿液中的汞水平。然而，该患者从未出现慢性中毒的临床症状。这一观察结果证实了皮下注射汞导致急性或慢性中毒的风险较低，以及早期切除受污染组织的必要性。
