Abstract:
A case of mercury-induced baboon syndrome was reported. A 31-year-old woman presented with itching papules and vesicles in the right axilla, which extended to the left axilla, arms, fossa poplitea, buttocks, and groin. A mercury thermometer was broken 2 days before exanthema. Patch testing to ammoniated mercury, mercury, mercuric chloride, and mercurochrome were positive. Blood and urine mercury level was marginally normal, yet showed a descending trend over time.
