title: [Peritoneal aluminosis after alugramin treatment of decubital ulcers (author's transl)].
abstract: The occurrence of unusual peritoneal and subserous deposits of metallic aluminum granules in a 34 years old man after local alugramin treatment of decubital ulcers lasting for about 10 weeks is described. He died of an apallic syndrome approximately 3 months after a head-brain-injury due to an accident and terminal bronchopneumonia. The peritoneal aluminosis was diagnosed at autopsy as a secondary finding. An inflammatory peritoneal reaction was not notified. The lymphatic ganglion system is assumed to be the route of transport.
