For patients the author has observed, the majority of complaints following an acute pyrethroid intoxication disappeared after the end of exposure. Residuals frequently observed after more than 2 years were: (1) cerebro-organic disorders (reduced intellectual performance with 20-30% reduction of endurance during mental work, personality disorder), visual disturbances, dysacousia, tinnitus; (2) sensomotor-polyneuropathy most frequently in the lower legs; (3) vegetative nervous disorders (paroxysmal tachycardia, pollakisuria, increased heat-sensitivity, orthostatic hypotonia and reduced exercise tolerance due to circulatory disorder). Non-neurological symptoms include deficiency of cellular and humoral immune system established by laboratory findings: opportunistic infections, especially Candida-infections of the gastro-intestinal tract, relapsing infections of the urinary and respiratory tract, the latter often aggravating to respiratory obstruction. Most of the patients exhibit positive epi- or intracutantest against pyrethroids or pyrethrines, and acquainted sensitivity also to other antigens. Many of these patients exhibit pathological autoimmune diagnostical findings and developed autoimmune diseases as for instance scleroderma-like syndrome, myasthenia-like syndrome with progredient muscle atrophy, autoimmun-hemolysis and autoimmun-thrombocytopenic purpura.
