Gold toxicity

Gold toxicity is an adverse multisystem pathological state resulting from the accumulation of or immune-mediated hypersensitivity to medicinal gold compounds, primarily encountered during chrysotherapy for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis Histopathologically and biochemically, gold toxicity involves tissue deposition, intracellular lysosomal disruption, and autoimmune reactions directed against affected organs
