Dear all,
We have a patient that has manganism (blood manganese 105.3 nmol/L (ref range 9.1-23.7).
According to Wiki, āThe current mainstay of manganism treatment is
levodopa and
chelation with
EDTA.ā
Locally we have no experience at all with this and those treatment options. Does anyone know of a UK centre that has expertise in this?
Many thanks indeed.
Ian
