Neurological and Neurophysiological Findings in Workers with Chronic 2,3,7,8 ‐Tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐Dioxin Intoxication 50 Years After Exposure

Conclusion: Fifty years after exposure, blood levels of TCDD are still 10 times higher than the general population. NCS, VEP, Lanthony test and SPECT findings deteriorated from examination of these patients in 2004 and in 2010. The total of abnormal tests per patient in 2016 is very high. Minor differences among patients and their reduced count may explain why the number of impairments in 2016 does not correlate with TCDD blood level.
