Chronic Arsenic Toxicity may have varied clinical presentations ranging from non-cancerous manifestations to malignancy of skin and different internal organs. Chronic arsenic exposure results in dermatologic manifestations prior to overt clinical neuropathy. Arsenic neuropathy causes painful paresthesias and, with higher level or continued exposure, length-dependent weakness. We are reporting two cases of chronic arsenic poisoning who presented initially as peripheral sensory motor neuropathy and skin manifestations. Arsenic poisoning was suspected because many of the other family members also developed similar symptoms simultaneously. The hair samples of these patients contained markedly elevated levels of arsenic. Also the water samples from their household and the neighboring households were found to have alarming levels of inorganic arsenic. Provision of arsenic free drinking water halt further deterioration of symptoms and there was significant improvement of their dermatological & neurological conditions.

Specific Symptoms

1 We compared the prevalence of signs and symptoms of chronic arsenic poisoning in two rural populations. 2 The arsenic concentration in the drinking water of the exposed population was 0.41 mg/l, and 0.007 mg/l in the control population. 3 The arsenic was present mainly (70%) in its pentavalent form. 4 The objective was to quantitate health effects and risks derived from chronic ingestion of arsenic in contaminated water. 5 In the exposed population, 21.6% of the sample, showed at least one of the cutaneous signs of chronic arsenic poisoning against 2.2% in the control town. 6 Non-specific symptoms were more prevalent in the exposed population and they occurred more frequently in those individuals with skin signs. 7 The relative risk of suffering a particular manifestation of poisoning, ranged from 1.9 to 36 times higher in the exposed population. 8 We estimated the risks above mentioned, which were derived from exposure to minute quantities of arsenic in a known proportion of its oxidation states during a life time period.
