title: [Diagnostic neurologic procedures and certification in persons chronically exposed to carbon disulfide in light of personal cases].
abstract: Carbon disulfide is a poison of particularly neotropic properties. In order to diagnose chronic occupational intoxication with carbon disulfide, a very careful examination of the central and peripheral nervous systems in required. The presence of subjective disorders only does not as yet provide grounds for diagnosing chronic intoxication. Organic changes like chronic encephalopathy or polyneuropathy after excluding the so called 'idiopathic' neurological diseases, may serve as a basis for certifying occupational disease.
