TL;DR
Serum thyroxine assay is suggested as a reliable test in the early diagnosis of CS2 poisoning and the levels appeared lower in the subjects with retinal vessel alterations.
Abstract
Serum thyroxine and blood lipids were assayed in 45 subjects exposed to carbon disulfide (CS2). A highly significant statistical reduction of thyroxine in relation to the exposure time was found and the levels appeared lower in the subjects with retinal vessel alterations. A significant interrelation between cholesterol and serum thyroxine was also evidenced. Serum thyroxine assay is suggested as a reliable test in the early diagnosis of CS2 poisoning.
