A 17-year-old boy was referred after jumping from a ladder onto the ground, crushing a medical thermometer with his right foot. Some days later, he complained of loss of appetite and weakness. A radiograph of the affected foot demonstrated radiopaque densities. Blood and 24-h urine assays for mercury demonstrated toxic levels. Chelation therapy cured the patient dramatically.
一名17岁男孩从梯子上跳到地面后前来就诊，他的右脚踩碎了一支医用温度计。几天后，他抱怨食欲不振和身体虚弱。患足的X光片显示有不透射线的密度影。血液和24小时尿液汞检测显示汞含量达到中毒水平。螯合疗法使患者迅速康复。
