Abstract This communication to the Second International Symposium on Toxicology of Carbon Disulfide (Banja Koviljaça, Yugoslavia, 29 May 1971) describes the difficulties encountered by the plant physician in the differential diagnosis of CS2 poisoning at its prodromal, initial, chronic and late stages (importance of previous health and work records, clinical examination, EEG, psychological and neuro-phychiatric tests, histopathology). Danger of confusing symptoms with those of neurasthenia, hysteria, multiple sclerosis, chronic alcoholism, etc.
