[Argyria: new physio-pathological and therapeutic hypothesis].
The authors describe a case of sistemic argyria. They suggest a common physiopatologic mechanism with Wilson disease and they consider the utilization of penicillamine as a ligand for the silver, since there are not other available valid treatments.
