    Abstract

    A 9-month-old infant with renal tubular acidosis is reported. This illness followed the use of ammoniated mercury ointment for a napkin eruption. Raised levels of inorganic mercury were found in the urine. The patient was treated with alkalis, dimercaprol, and penicillamine. After 5 months, all therapy was discontinued and she has remained well.
