This case report discusses a young man's severe febrile illness mimicking leptospirosis or dengue, ultimately suggesting Gloriosa superba poisoning after hair loss led to the correct diagnosis.

This case report observed that despite treatment with Berlin blue and forced diuresis for thallium poisoning, a 42-year-old man experienced lasting distal polyneuropathy symptoms six months post-hospital discharge.

This review reports that thallium poisoning causes severe neurological damage, with early gastrointestinal symptoms and later neurological dysfunction, and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and Prussian blue as an effective antidote.

This article discusses thallium poisoning and its diagnosis, symptoms, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for awareness due to its misleading symptoms and potential for misdiagnosis.

This study suggests that oral zinc sulphate may be an effective and safe treatment for thallium poisoning, particularly in improving dermatological symptoms and reducing the progression of the condition.

This study found that oral zinc sulphate appeared effective and safe for treating thallium poisoning, particularly in reducing hair and skin symptoms and mitigating its severe progression in patients.

This study observed that exposure to heavy metal salts affected skin and hair morphology in mice, with lead acetate decreasing keratinocyte proliferation and zinc sulfate and sodium dichromate increasing it.

This article reports on five cases of thallium poisoning seen at Hospital Dos de Mayo, Lima, Peru, highlighting the clinical symptoms and diagnostic features observed, including a case confirmed through various laboratory tests.

This study reported that acute thallium poisoning, investigated through three forensic cases involving both intentional and accidental overdoses, resulted in severe symptoms including neurological damage, multiple organ failure, alopecia, and, in two cases, death, emphasizing the extreme toxicity of thallium compounds.
