Coming soonThallium poisoning is a severe, potentially life-threatening heavy-metal intoxication resulting from the accidental, intentional, or occupational ingestion, inhalation, or cutaneous absorption of thallium compounds.
Pathophysiologically, monovalent thallium mimics potassium ions, disrupting vital cellular processes such as sodium-potassium ATPase activity, while also binding sulfhydryl-containing proteins and inducing widespread mitochondrial dysfunction.
The condition primarily impacts the gastrointestinal, nervous, and integumentary systems, initially causing acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, followed by severe, progressive painful peripheral polyneuropathy and autonomic instability.
Delayed manifestations characteristically feature diffuse alopecia, encephalopathy, and transverse leukonychia, also known as Mees lines.
