When on Nov 1, 2006, Russian ex-secret agent Alexander Litvinenko was admitted with acute abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting to hospital in London, UK, doctors did not realise that they were facing a case of poisoning with polonium-210. As described by the doctors who treated Litvinenko in The Lancet, early symptoms of polonium-210 poisoning were indistinguishable from those of a wide range of chemical toxins. When polonium-210 was finally identified as the source of the poisoning, Litvinenko's condition was desperate and he died on Nov 23.
