我们报告了台湾一家锰铁工厂工人的六例慢性锰中毒病例。通过评估血液、头皮和阴毛中锰浓度的升高来确诊。此外，环境空气中的锰含量也有所增加。这些患者表现出运动迟缓-僵硬综合征，与左旋多巴治疗有反应的帕金森病无法区分。
We report six cases of chronic manganese intoxication in workers at a ferromanganese factory in Taiwan. Diagnosis was confirmed by assessing increased manganese concentrations in the blood, scalp, and pubic hair. In addition, increased manganese levels in the environmental air were established. The patients showed a bradykinetic-rigid syndrome indistinguishable from Parkinson''s disease that responded to treatment with levodopa.
