We present a patient with flaccid paralysis caused by chronic arsenic exposure, most likely due to illicit drug use. Arsenic is known to cause polyneuropathy, but is not often considered in the differential diagnosis of a patient presenting with flaccid paralysis.
我们报告一名因长期接触砷导致弛缓性麻痹的患者,很可能是由于使用非法药物所致。已知砷会引起多发性神经病,但在以弛缓性麻痹就诊患者的鉴别诊断中并不常被考虑。
