Abstract
There are few reports of poisoning caused by high-dose intravenous injection of mercury. Its clinical manifestations are diverse and the risk of mortality is high. Currently, the pathogenesis is not clear and the treatment experience is insufficient, leading to difficulties in clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this article, the data of a case of mercury poisoning caused by intravenous self-administration was analyzed and summarized. The patient developed multiple organ dysfunction syndrome after intravenous injection of high-dose mercury. After comprehensive treatment, such as mercury removal, organ support, and infection prevention, the condition was improved. This case suggests that intravenous injection of mercury can cause damage to the functions of multiple organs, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Early treatment and intervention can bring benefits.
