Abstract HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. The dermatological, medical and laboratory findings of patients poisoned with PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) and related compounds in Taiwan (Yusho poisoning). Together with their symptoms, skin lesions and hematological, immunological and other clinical features were explained. A grading of clinical severity was tried, and its possible association with PCB concentrations in the blood was examined but could not be demonstrated. Various treatments were applied but without success. A follow-up study of patients 1 yr later showed that ? 38% of patients were clinically improved, while 54% were not altered.
