Abstract |
A case report of a 27-year-old man who had worked in a copper smelter and refinery for 3 years, and a note on the mechanism of arsine production, are followed by discussion of diagnosis and treatment of arsine poisoning. Acute, moderate to severe poisoning is characterised by migratory abdominal cramps and tenderness, nausea, vomiting and painless haemoglobinuria. There is leukocytosis, elevated plasma haemoglobin and haemoglobinuria without cellular debris. Blood and urinary arsenic determinations should be made if possible. |
