| Abstract: Problem statement: Injection of metallic mercury in the forms of subcutaneous or
intravenous has been hitherto reported in less than a hundred cases. Approach: We reported a 19 year
old male with history of major depression who subcutaneously injected metallic mercury into his right
forearm with suicidal intention. Results: A week later, a mild elevation of creatinine level was noted.
Subsequently, mercury deposits were totally removed with all affected tissues and fascia of the right
forearm. Later, the creatinine level decreased to the normal range. Conclusion: The present case is an
example of suicidal attempt that presented with subcutaneous injection of elemental mercury
mimicking bacterial cellulitis. Physicians should consider heavy metal injections when evaluating a
patient with history of psychiatric disorders presented with bacterial cellulitis. |
