abstract="Absence of early signs specific for thallium intoxication requires objective diagnostic methods. The studies covered 4 techniques: electroretinography (ERG), assessment of urine levels of thallium and delta-aminolevulinic acid, capillaroscopy. The authors supported their previous foundation concerning diagnostic value of ERG for early diagnosis of thallium effects (higher amplitude of b-wave in one and that of a-wave in 8 out of 10 examinees). Further experimental and clinical basis for grading the intoxication through amounts of urinary thallium were found promising. Capillaroscopy method appeared informative: 8 out of 12 examinees demonstrated spastic and atonic state of hand capillaries--that provided objective verification of vascular disorders in workers exposed to thallium and its derivatives.<p /><p>Language: ru</p>",
