Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) and scleroderma were especially examined in workers who had been exposed to trichloro ethylene. Factor-exposed persons were 1378 industrial workers (704 males and 674 females) in Niigata Prefecture who had been in contact with trichloroethylene and came to medical examinations performed during 14 months (January 1986 to February 1987). Six hundred controls (300 males and 300 females) who had no history of exposure to trichloroethylene were selected at random among the examinees of an annual medical examination. The self-completion medical questionnaire was designed to probe subjective symptoms. Comparison of prevalence of each symptom surveyed revealed that all symptoms occurred in the exposed group with a lesser frequency than in the controls. The particular symptom complex suggesting PCI, which is characterized by abdominal fullness, flatus, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea, and tomato juice-like bloody stool, however, appeared more frequently in the exposed females. As to scleroderma, a symptom complex consisting of skin-sclerosis of extremities, face and trunk, thickening and tightening of the skin of fingers (sclerodactyly), stiffness and Raynaud's phenomenon was observed more frequently in the exposed workers of both sexes. A clinical evaluation of workers with subjective symptoms seems to be significant for further study.}, pages = {125--132}, title = {トリクロロエチレン使用者の健康調査結果について}, volume = {105}, year = {1991} }
