Abstract

Three mercury poisonings (two fatal), following the use of mercuric chloride solution for peritoneal lavage during operations for the removal of cancerous growths, are described. The concentrations of mercury measured in the tissues from these cases are consistent with those found in poisoning by injection, inhalation and ingestion.
