“…After lindane and toxaphen-exposure, a patient suffered fl'om aplastic anaemia preceding myelomonocytic leukaemia [20,22]. A correlation between HCH, usually lindane exposure, and the onset of aplastic anaemia with acute myelogenous leukaemia has been repeatedly claimed [14,31,32]. Aksoy et al [1][2][3] in Turkey and Vigliani and co-workers in Italy [28][29][30] found a statistical correlation between myelogenous, monocytic, erythrocytic, and lymphocytic leukaemia, as well as aplastic anaemia, pancytopenia, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, plasmocytoma and occupational exposure to benzene in shoe production and painting.…”
