title: [Practical and disputable aspects of the effect of benzene-containing organic solvents exemplified by the case of hairy cell leukemia].
abstract: The aim of this paper is to present difficulties in establishing the causal relationship between many years' combined exposure to benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons and the occurrence of a rare form of leukemia (hairy cell leukemia) in a worker of patients and lacquers factory. Usefulness of experimental and points epidemiologic studies is critically discussed in order to show the consequences of the etiology of combined occupational exposure.
