| Resumen |
Clinical findings in a case of hydrogen sulfide poisoning that occurred during work in a sewer; dominant nature of ocular manifestations: bilateral keratoconjuctivis and bilateral papillary oedema with retinal haemorrhages, all of which regressed after a few days without sequelae. Review of the toxicity of hydrogen sulfide which may have a fatal effect at high concentrations (700-900ppm); at this level, due to its paralysing effect on the olfactory centres, hydrogen sulfide is no longer detectable by its smell, and eye lesions probably due to anoxia may occur. To prevent this type of serious accident - in which the effects may be irreversible - safety measures for workers at risk should be intensified and regular clinical and opthalmological examinations instituted. |
