Laboratory Reporting for Tracking of Occupational Pesticide Illness.

PB2004105625

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Das, R.; Geiser, C.; Ellerbe, L.
Page Count	184
Abstract	The overall aims of the project were to develop and implement a method of surveillance of pesticide illness due to cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides through direct laboratory reporting of cholinesterase test results by: Recruiting one laboratory to voluntarily report to CDHS the results of cholinesterase tests performed at its facilities. Ascertaining occupational illness cases through follow-up of physicians and patients identified by these reports. Comparing the proportion and characteristics of pesticide illness cases identified through the laboratory-based reporting system with the CDHS physician-based surveillance system. Evaluating direct laboratory reporting for use as a surveillance method for the detection of pesticide illnesses.
