Abstract
Serum thyroxine and blood lipids were assayed in 45 subjects exposed So carbon disulfide (CS2). A highly significant statistical reduction of thyroxine in relation to the exposure time was found and the levels appeared lower in the subjects with retinal vessel alterations. A significant interrelation between cholesterol and serum thyroxine was also evidenced. Serum thyroxine assay is suggested as a reliable test on the early diagnosis of CS2 poisoning.Keywords
