Abstract
Hydrogen selenide is a non-metallic compound currently receiving attention in both medicine and electronics. Toxicity results in multiple symptoms, the most characteristic of which is a garlicky odor of the breath. A young woman exposed repeatedly to hydrogen selenide gas developed gastrointestinal complaints, dental caries, conjunctivitis, nail deformities, and garlicky breath. Other reported cases are discussed along with various proposed treatments.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
