Poisoning with mercury as a result of uncommon symptomatology

This paper is focused on mercury, a plentifully used chemical element. This chemical element can also be life threatening. Mercury

is encountered in daily life, although not as frequently as before. The paper describes the symptoms of both acute and chronic poisoning

caused by this chemical element. A case report is presented of a 35-year-old man who was poisoned with mercury. The diagnosis

and resulting treatment of this poisoning are described. The case also demonstrates the body's individual reaction to an increased level

of mercury that can be perceived very subjectively by patients.

Keywords: mercury, poisoning, case report
