[Acute poisoning by Vantal (combination of dimethoate and DDT) in a group of longshoremen].

Abstract

In this work the authors describe a case of acute intoxication by "VANTAL" (DDT and Dimethoate) occurred in a group of six longshoremen. The authors particularly consider the reports about the gastroenteric apparatus and the central and peripheric nervous system. It has in fact been possible to document all kinds of pathologic condition from gastritis to duodenal ulcer in all subjects; whereas only three subjects out of six showed alterations in E.E.G. and E.M.G.
