title: [Therapeutic effect of calcium preparation in phosphorus poisoning following phosphorus burns].
abstract: All of 20 patients with phosphorus burn, admitted from 1987 to 1991, have been cured by intravenous drip of calcium gluconate combined with other therapies. The wounds were washed with tap water, followed by eschar formation in 12 days. The clinical data showed that phosphorus poisoning did not occur if calcium was given very early postburn. Calcium also could abolish or ameliorate clinical manifestations of existing phosphorus poisoning, accelerate the elimination of phosphorus and recovery of damaged organs.
