We have reported the case of a 42-year-old man exposed to arsenic at least three times over a ten-month period from an agricultural source. He showed classical symptoms and signs of arsenic poisoning. During chelation therapy and apparent recovery from the poisoning, he suddenly and unexpectedly died; postmortem examination revealed a myocarditis similar to that reported previously. The case demonstrates the need for electrocardiographic monitoring of all patients with arsenic poisoning, during both the initial phase of the illness and convalescence.
我们报告了一名42岁男性的病例，该男子在十个月的时间里至少三次从农业来源接触到砷。他表现出砷中毒的典型症状和体征。在螯合疗法及中毒症状明显缓解期间，他突然意外死亡；尸检发现了与之前报告相似的心肌炎。该病例表明，对于所有砷中毒患者，在疾病初期和康复期都需要进行心电图监测。
