| Resumen |
Case report (circumstances of accident, acute symptoms, late symptoms, psychological observations, diagnostic conclusions) and discussion of the results in the context of the literature. A 30-year-old engineer in the chemical industry had intensive skin absorption and inhalation of phenol after overturning of a container. After discharge from a week's hospital treatment he showed characteristic symptoms of chronic phenol poisoning (loss of appetite, headache after effort, fatigue, severe insomnia), although some typical symptoms of acute phenol poisoning (liver and kidney damage, cerebral convulsions) were absent. Other symptoms of central nervous disturbance (behavioural changes with loss of initiative and irritability, concentration and memory disorders) were recognised to be the consequence of cerebral injury only later. The importance of psychological tests for the differential diagnosis is stressed. |
