Subcutaneous metallic mercury injection of the hand.

Poisoning by subcutaneous metallic mercury is rare and usually accidental. Although it does not carry the same risks as mercury-vapour intoxication, it may still cause destructive early and late local reactions. Two deaths resulting from subcutaneous mercury injection have been reported in the literature. We present a case of accidental subcutaneous injection of mercury in the hand and discuss its management with a review of the literature.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis and pustulosis palmoplantaris.

Based on nine patients 4 to 26 years of age, we describe the clinical characteristics of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. This disorder was characterized by an insidious onset of fever, local swelling and pain in affected bones, and radiologic findings suggesting osteomyelitis. The lesions were mainly localized to the clavicles and the metaphyses of tubular bones. The clinical course was characterized by intermittent periods of exacerbation and improvement over several years. Six of the patients had recurrent pustulosis palmaris and plantaris, which closely parallelled the exacerbations of the bone lesions. Biopsies from the bone lesions showed nonspecific inflammatory changes with granulocytic infiltration. Repeated bacterial and fungal cultivations from blood, bone biopsies, and pustules were negative. Immunologic investigation revealed no abnormality common to the patients. There was no indications of a genetic etiology. The pathogenesis of the disorder is unknown. Antibiotic treatment had no obvious effect but corticosteroid therapy appeared to be of benefit in some patients. The long-term prognosis appears to be relatively good.

Pediatric hand disease. Diagnosis and treatment.

Proper care of the pediatric hand requires a careful, systematic history, and physical examination, and is facilitated by recognizing common disease patterns, making it easier to determine which conditions require specialty referral, and the timing of those referrals. The article outlines pertinent details of examination and discusses diagnosis and treatment of a number of common diseases entities of the hand.

Primary cutaneous bacillus cereus infection in neutropenic children.

A review of culture reports for a five-year period at St Jude Children's Research Hospital yielded 10 cases of primary cutaneous Bacillus cereus infection in neutropenic patients treated for cancer or aplastic anaemia. Vesicles or pustules were seen only on the limbs. The infections, all of which arose in the spring or summer, responded to antibiotics. In neutropenic patients B cereus should thus be regarded as a possible cause of isolated vesicles.
