“邻居氟中毒”是Waldbott等提出的,但是他们诊断为该病的32名病人除神经肌肉、胃肠道、呼吸道和皮肤病症状外,X线检查未见骨质改变。本文作者认为只有法国的Herbert等报导的一例才是真正的邻居氟中毒,患者为男性,46岁,居住在一炼铝厂主导风向的下风向,距铝厂10公里,X线检查可见严重的氟骨硬化。 “Neighbor fluorosis” was proposed by Waldbott et al. However, in 32 patients diagnosed as having the disease, no bone changes were seen on X-rays except for neuromuscular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and dermatological conditions. The author of this article thinks that only one case reported by France’s Herbert et al. Is the true neighbors fluorosis. The male patient, aged 46, lives in a downwind direction prevailing in an aluminum smelter and 10 kilometers away from the aluminum mill. X-ray examination revealed serious Fluoride sclerosis.
