Metal Poisoning

ABSTRACTMorvan's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder of peripheral and central nervous system mediated by VGKC antibody. Here we report a case of Morvans syndrome who presented 1 month after ayurvedic drug intake. She presented with symptoms of peripheral nerve hyperexcitablity and autoimmune testing revealed positive result for VGKC antibody. Heavy metals level was also significantly raised. She improved after a course of steroids. This case report tries to highlight the association of VGKC mediated Morvans syndrome with heavy metal poisoning and its incidental occurence after Ayurvedic drug intake.

Heavy Metal Salt

Ingestion of corrosive substances may cause severe to serious injuries of the upper aero-digestive tractand the poisoning can even result in death. Acute corrosive intoxications pose a major problem in clinical toxicology since the most commonly affected population are the young with psychic disorders, suicidal intent and alcohol addiction. In our case report, a 19-year-old male, 2year engineering student committed suicide by consuming a heavy metal salt available in his chemistry lab after leaving a suicidal note. He got treated in a private hospital for 2 days and later he succumbed due to poisoning. Though the findings of this heavy metal poisoning mimicks corrosive acid poisoning, it has to be viewed through the eye of forensic toxicology for a clear view in clinching the diagnosis in the earlier phase of treatment.

Aims and objectives: To study the views of Doctors on heavy metal poisoning in Mumbai      Material and methods: Heavy metals, like arsenic, lead, mercury, and others, are all around us. They’re in the ground we walk on, in the water we drink, and in the products we use every day. But high levels of most heavy metals can make you sick. While our bodies need small amounts of some heavy metals — such as  zinc, copper, chromium, iron, and manganese — toxic amounts are harmful. If our body's soft tissues accumulate too much of heavy metals, the resulting poisoning can cause serious damage. Though there are variety of medical uses of heavy metals, still each metal has its own side effects which disturb human health. We have to use  solid evidence that demonstrates the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of specific alternative medicine . Also We have to study General biocompatibility (how metals react with human tissue) and Immunological biocompatibility (The adverse reaction due to an immunological  or allergic type response from metals). For the better study of heavy metal toxicity, we have carried out survey taking opinions of Doctors in Mumbai and Thane region. Observations: Commonly found views are  : In most of the medicines Doctors identify Lead as poisonous, Most of the metal poisoning cases occur accidentally, Ayurvedic medicines should be standardized by Ayurvedic parameters so that metals will not be in free form & never cause toxicity,  use of herbal preparations is the alternative to medicines containing metals. Conclusion: From the survey of heavy metal poisoning we conclude that there are herbal drugs which function as  the alternative solutions for the use of heavy metals , Other medicines can be used after the proper detoxification of heavy metals.
