[Occupational autonomic-sensory polyneuropathy of chemical etiology (characteristics of its development, clinical course and diagnosis)].

Prevalence of the autonomic-sensory+ forms of polyneuropathy among current occupational neurotoxicoses + is predominantly caused by prolonged influences of low-intensive hazardous factors. The major damages of the vegetative nervous system underlie the generalized character of the disorders effected by both neuromuscular and visceral regulations. The latter also explains the complexity and diversity of medical examination techniques. Electroneuromyography seems to be the most adequate and accessible means which reveals pathological changes in the peripheral nerve trunks well before the clinical stage of the disease.
