Disease relevance of Hydrargyrum ammoniatum

OBJECTIVES: To determine contact allergies in patients with oral lichen planus and to monitor the effect of partial or complete replacement of amalgam fillings following a positive patch test reaction to ammoniated mercury, metallic mercury, or amalgam [1].
CASE REPORT: Peripheral polyneuropathy as a result of chronic ammoniated mercury poisoning was studied and followed over 2 years [2].
We report 2 cases of severe allergic reaction to ammoniated mercury and hope, in agreement with the pertinent literature, to contribute to its removal, and that of most other mercurials, from the therapeutic armamentarium [3].
Allergic contact dermatitis of the face from contact with nickel and ammoniated mercury in spectacle frames and skin-lightening creams [4].
Ammoniated mercury ointment as a cause of peripheral neuropathy [5].
