Die Feersche Krankheit (Akrodynie), eine seltsame Krankheit

Abstract: An der Feerschen Krankheit sind die Geschichte, die geographische und zeitiiche Verbreitung, die Ätiologie, die Pathogenese seltsam und vielfach noch rätselhaft. Mit Recht spricht man, solange man keinen Namen hat, der das Wesentliche des Leidens wiedergibt, von Feerscher Krankheit, denn die keineswegs seltene und eindrucksvolle Krankheit Ist in der Literatur erst durch die erschöpfende klinische Studie F e e r s 1922/1923 aligemein bekannt geworden. Eine Zeitlang glaubten viele Autoren, daß eine neue Krankhei… Show more

“…Normal urine mercury levels do not rule out the diagnosis [4]; increased urinary excretion of catecholamines (suggesting pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma) is a more consistent and diagnostically useful finding [6,7]. The causal link between exposure to mercury and the clinical phenotype, then called ''acrodynia'' (pain of the extremities), was noted by Feer back in 1923 [2,5,12], but even today, the pathogenesis is still not clear [2]. Elimination of mercury from the household environment and of mercury-based drugs (such as calomel) from the therapeutic arsenal, has resulted in a marked reduction in the incidence of acrodynia [11].…”

“…The etiology of acrodynia was an open question until the recent discoveries of WARRANY (7) and FANCONI (4) which seemed at last to give an answer to this question. By various ways, they came to the conclusion that acrodynia was the result of a sensitization to some mercury compounds, chiefly calomel (mercury chloride) frequently found in the teething powders and vermifuges in common use.…”

“…Kussmaul erkannte schon 1861 den Zusammenhang zwischen Quecksilberbelastung und der Entwicklung eines nephrotischen Syndroms [30]. Quecksilber wurde auch als Verursacher der Akrodynie [18,19] und in der chlorierten Form der Calomelkrankheit [17] beschrieben.…”
