High impact information on Argyria

• Argyria from excessive use of topical silver sulphadiazine [1].
• Scar-localized argyria secondary to silver sulfadiazine cream [2].
• The introduction of ethanol as a fixative and nylon mesh as a supporting grid, and the avoidance of electron staining, have facilitated the minimization of unwanted microanalytical emission peaks generated from conventional chemicals and metals, which often disturb precise clarification of elements of pathological interest in argyria [3].
• The patient under study had developed argyria following injection of silver nitrate as a sclerosant into his varicose veins 41 years ago [4].
• Systemic argyria secondary to topical silver nitrate [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Argyria

• Systemic argyria secondary to breath freshener "Jintan Silver Pills" [6].
• Compared to its effect on other metals, Se was shown to have a complex action, characterized primarily by its toxic effect, favoring the appearance of symptoms of argyria [7].
• Generalized argyria with low ceruloplasmin and copper levels in the serum. A case report with clinical and microscopical findings and a trial of penicillamine treatment [8].
