title: [Evaluation of dermatological symptoms of Yusho patients in the annual examination in 2001-2002].
abstract: We evaluated the severity grades and the skin severity scores of the skin symptoms of Yusho patients who visited the annual examinations in 2001 and 2002. The patients who participated in the examinations had been decreased gradually. However, because of enhancement of social interest, the number of the patients who visited the examination increased. The pattern of the severity grades and the severity scores was different from that of the past. A careful follow-up and analysis is required.
