The article presents the most important results of a follow-up study of 60 patients with solvent induced encephalopathy, carried out 3-5 years after diagnosis. Factors concerning health, work and social life were registered. These encephalopathies seem to remain stable after cessation of exposure to solvents. The majority of the patients did not fully understand the diagnosis. Only a minority of the patients followed recommendations concerning further work and exposure to solvents. The disease has major consequences for the social well-being of the patients, and they do not seem to receive adequate support from the social welfare authorities.
本文介绍了对60例溶剂性脑病患者进行诊断后3至5年随访研究的最重要结果。记录了与健康、工作和社会生活相关的因素。这些脑病在停止接触溶剂后似乎保持稳定。大多数患者没有完全理解诊断结果。只有少数患者遵循了关于进一步工作和接触溶剂的建议。该疾病对患者的社会福祉有重大影响，而且他们似乎没有从社会福利机构获得足够的支持。
