[Electroneurographic findings in workers exposed to mercury].
25 mercury-exposed workers as well as 27 age-matched controls were investigated in an electroneurographic study. The population of mercury-exposed workers was found to have --an increased latency of distal motor action potential at both median and peroneal nerves --an increased latency of distal sensory action potential at median nerve --a decrease of amplitudes of evoked muscle potentials at both median and peroneal nerves --a reduced motor nerve conduction velocity at both examined nerves --a reduced antidromic sensory nerve conduction velocity at median nerve. To detect early changes in nerval function we recommend regularly electroneurographic examinations of mercury-exposed people.
