Abstract:
Four patients with thallium toxicity were treated with Prussian blue, 125 mg/kg/day. The diagnosis was made on clinical grounds and confirmed by detection of thallium in the urine. Electromyographic, evoked potentials and electroencephalographic studies confirmed quick clinical and electrophysiologic improvement of the patients.
