[Prognosis of patients with nervous system lesions caused by organic solvents].
19 patients with chronic organic solvent intoxication of the nervous system were interviewed and examined three years after the diagnosis was set. The study shows a significant reduction of subjective symptoms, especially among the youngest patients. Clinical neurological examination was almost unchanged. 18 of the patients were no longer occupationally exposed to organic solvents. Six patients were still working, and three other patients were being re-educated. Most of the patients were followed by general practitioners.
