[Induction of acrodynia by grain preservative (author's transl)].
A five year old boy suffered from acrodynia induced by the ingestion of the mercury containing compound Ceresan-Morkit. Mercury was traced in blood and urine. Since the excretion of the 17-Ketosteroids was augmented, we treated the patient with cortison, cuasing a prompt improvement of the condition.
