[Bismuth osteoarthropathies. Concern with bone bismuth dosage].
Impulsion polarography with anodic redissolution, a very sensitive means of dosage that is easy to repeat and more selective than atomic absorption, makes it possible to affirm the presence of bismuth in the bones after oral or parenteral treatment in 6 patients, 5 of whom suffered from osteoarthropathies that could be linked, given their nature, to the treatment administered, though this could not be proven. The presence of bismuth in the bone tissue of these patients must be considered in the physiopathological discussion of their osteoarthropathies, especially since none of them showed signs of encephalopathies.
