Abstract

Green tobacco sickness (GTS) is an occupational illness that causes significant morbidity in tobacco harvesters. Physicians need to be aware of GTS and its differential diagnosis, especially when patients come to emergency rooms. Dermal absorption of nicotine is reported to be the cause of GTS. No fatalities have been reported, and treatment is supportive. Prevention, by covering exposed skin, seems to be the most effective way of dealing with GTS.

摘要

绿烟草病（GTS）是一种职业病，会给烟草采摘者带来严重的发病率。医生需要了解绿烟草病及其鉴别诊断，尤其是当患者前往急诊室时。据报道，尼古丁经皮肤吸收是绿烟草病的病因。目前尚无死亡病例报告，治疗以支持治疗为主。通过覆盖暴露的皮肤进行预防似乎是应对绿烟草病最有效的方法。
