“…The reversibility of the findings was, however , remarkable in the present study. In the Seveso accident, where residents of the area were exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (dioxin-TCDD), those subjects who developed chloracne also had significantly more often neuropathic sign s in clinical and electroph ysiological examinations than unexposed referents (5).…”

“…When only subjects younger than 20 years with chloracne were considered, the relative frequency rose up to nearly five times 3) . In the early months after the accident, urinary D-glucaric acid excretion, an indirect index of enzyme induction, was measured in 14 children with and 17 children without chloracne, all from Zone A.…”

“…No increased frequency of overt cases of peripheral neuropathy was found, although the subgroup of subjects who had chloracne or elevated hepatic enzymes showed a 3-fold increased frequency of some clinical and electrophysiologic signs of peripheral neuropathy (27). A follow-up was conducted until 1983 of 153 subjects with chloracne and 123 control subjects.…”
