Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A seaman with symptoms and signs from the nervous system was examined. He had symptoms and signs of affection of his mental status, cerebellum and peripheral nerves. He had been working on tankers for 31 years, and had regularly been exposed to different organic solvents during loading, unloading and cleaning of the tanks. As no other disease was present in this patient, the existence of a chronic organic solvent intoxication syndrome was suggested. |
