Mercury Poisoning

Polyvinyl alcohol preservative (PVA) is used routinely in the laboratory for collection of specimens for examination for ova and parasites.1-4 PVA, presently used at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, contains: 4.5% mercuric chloride, 5% polyvinyl alcohol, 30% denatured alcohol, 4.5% acetic acid, and 1.5% glycerin in an aqueous solution. The kit, as shown in the Figure, contains three bottles with 10-ml aliquots of PVA, wooden sticks for mixing the specimen, and written instructions for collection of the specimens. The bottles are clearly labeled as poison in English and Spanish, and specific verbal as well as written instructions are given to patients and their families when the ova and parasite kits are dispensed.
