Abstract EN
In clinical practice, thallium poisoning is very hard to diagnose, because it is a very uncommon disease and its clinical manifestations are extremely complicated.
In the present study, we investigated a case of a 53-year-old man who was hospitalized for persistent stabbing pain in the abdomen and lower extremities for 20 days.
Physical examination revealed diffuse alopecia of the scalp.
The final diagnosis of thallium poisoning was confirmed based on high blood and urine thallium levels.
The patient was cured by an oral administration of Prussian blue combined with hemoperfusion and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration.
