[Platelet changes and occupational carbon disulfide poisoning. I. Variations of platelet adhesiveness].

Platelet adhesiveness was studied in 83 workers exposed to CS2 and 47 controls. Results show an increase of platelet adhesiveness statistically significant in workers in comparison with controls and in workers with high exposure vs. workers with mild exposure. Authors suggest the usefulness of platelet adhesiveness evaluation for prevention and early diagnosis of CS2 intoxication.
