An outbreak of acute polyneuropathy affected over 20 young females in Sri Lanka during 1977-78. The illness was restricted to girls attaining menarche and to women after childbirth. The cause of the neuropathy could be traced to tri-cresyl phosphate found as a contaminant in gingili oil. Contamination probably occurred during transport of the oil in containers previously used for storing mineral oils.
1977年至1978年期间,斯里兰卡爆发了急性多发性神经病,20多名年轻女性受影响。这种疾病仅限于初潮期女孩和产后妇女。神经病的病因可追溯到芝麻油中发现的作为污染物的磷酸三甲苯酯。污染可能发生在芝麻油装于先前用于储存矿物油的容器中运输期间。
