Polyneuropathy possibly caused by 30 years of low exposure to n-hexane.
报告一例60岁男性因30年低浓度正己烷暴露(10-100 mg/m³)导致缓慢发展的感觉性多发性神经病,通过肌电图和腓肠神经活检证实,提示长期低浓度暴露也可能致病。
A slowly developing, mainly sensory, polyneuropathy was found in a 60-year-old man exposed to n-hexane (10-100 mg/m3) for 30 years in a mountain fuel stockpile. The nerve damage was verified by electromyography and sural nerve biopsy, and it is proposed that also a low-grade, but prolonged, exposure to n-hexane may cause polyneuropathy.
