[Occupational injuries to workers in contact with carbon disulfide].

Results are reported of a planned prospective longitudinal study of the early phases of angiopathy and other clinical, clinico-laboratory and functional changes in the early period of carbon disulphide effects. Subject of the study were 251 workers employed in artificial fiber production; in 73 of them the complex investigations were repeated within an interval of 3 years. The studies demonstrated the presence of distinct vascular, vegetative and irritative changes. They were low-grade ones, of no particular interest, especially the vascular ones, as they were demonstrable after comparatively short exposure to carbon disulphide and in young age.
