The article provides a brief overview of the pathogenesis, clinical course and principles of intensive therapy of acute intoxication with this metal, as well as clinical examples of severe poisoning with barium salts with a negative and positive outcome in victims who used counterfeit barium carbonate instead of barium sulfate.
