Abstract:   (5314 Views)
More than five hundred chemically injured patients were admitted to the Labbafi-Nejad Medical Center in Spring of 1984. These patients were of two groups. The majority of patients had extensive skin burns, eye injuries as well as respiratory problems, and a second group of patients suffered mainly from neuromuscular and psychological problems. In this report, clinical manifestation and observations of the first group, as well as a summary of the therapeutic modalities adopted are presented. We conclude that chemical weapons have a devastaring effect both in short and long term on humans and a more influential stance should be taken by responsible organizations to stop their use.
