| Abstract |
Results of observations and medical examinations of 57 pharmaceutical industry workers exposed to triphthazine (piperazine derivative of phenothiazine) dust for 2-5 years. The authors observed cases of acute poisoning characterised by general asthenia, increase of muscular tonicity and convulsions, and cases of subacute poisoning with similar but less severe symptoms (1 case study). In suspected chronic poisoning (headaches, autonomic disorders), medical supervision should be stepped up and therapeutic measures taken. Personnel showing acute or subacute poisoning should be given treatment and transferred to work not involving exposure. |
