Abstract |
Case report of a shoe-industry worker who has been employed in glueing soles for 2 years. The original condition diagnosed, benzene-induced progressive haemopathy, developed into leukaemia, which was recognisable only at autopsy. Clinical and pathological details of the case are given, and possible pathogenic mechanisms discussed. |
