[Methodologic guidelines related to neurologic and neurophysiologic examinations in a population occupationally exposed to carbon disulfide (CS2)].

A range of neurological and neurophysiological examinations of persons chronically exposed to carbon disulfide (CS2), together with appropriate methods were presented. The principles of the subjective and objective examinations of persons suspected to be chronically exposed to CS2 were discussed. A characteristic syndrome of subjective symptoms with their neurasthennic and polyneuropathic nature was highlighted. The usefulness of neurophysiological examinations in the diagnosis of chronic CS2 poisoning, and particularly the value of the brain evoked potentials, were evaluated.
