Abstract

A male patient was admitted to hospital 12 h after self-poisoning with mercuric chloride. He suffered multiple complications including acute renal failure, ulcerative colitis, anaemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, chronic sepsis and severe weight loss. Initially he responded well to resuscitative measures and intensive supportive therapy, which included ventilation of the lungs, haemodialysis, dimercaprol, antibiotics, parenteral feeding and gastrointestinal surgery. Unfortunately the sepsis was never satisfactorily eradicated despite satisfactory serum concentrations of the appropriate antibiotics. On day 43 after poisoning he had a grand mal fit; after this there were focal neurological signs and on lumbar puncture he was found to have a raised protein concentration and raised pressure in his cerebrospinal fluid. The condition of the patient rapidly deteriorated and on day 47 he died. Post-mortem examination revealed a large cerebellar abscess. The literature on mercury poisoning is reviewed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
