Abstract

Metallic mercury is widely used in human′s life, but it can cause different toxicity damage to human′s body.Metallic mercury mainly enters body through respiratory tract in the form of mercury vapor.It can also be absorbed through the skin, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, and intravenously, and the absorption the digestive tract is negligible.It mainly accumulates in the brain stem, cerebellum and kidney, causing damage to the central nervous system and kidney.Mercury poisoning can be treated with metal chelators, hemodialysis, plasma exchange and surgical resection, and meantime monitoring the repair of various system injuries.The toxicological mechanism, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment progress of metallic mercury intoxication in children is discussed in this paper.

Key words
