Excretion of thallium in breast-milk was followed in a 40-yr-old woman for 15 days following intravenous injection of 111 MBq 201Tl. Excretion showed a bi-exponential pattern similar to that reported by Murphy et al. [International Journal of Health Physics (1989) 56 (4) 539] and it is concluded that breast-feeding should be discontinued for 24-48 h after injection of radiopharmaceutical 201Tl.
