Effects of thallium poisoning on intellectual function

C Thompson, J Dent and P Saxby
Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School.

A student of chemistry was treated for thallium poisoning. Seven months after his ingestion of thallium, intelligence tests were performed on the patient and his non-identical twin brother, who was of similar educational background. These indicated severe deterioration in intellectual function of the patient, particularly in memory and performance abilities. Tests 13 months after ingestion showed little general improvement.
