| Abstract:: |
| Objective To discuss diagnosis, treatment and late effects of three patients with acute radiation-induced skin injury after an accident.Methods Medical history collection and physical examination were made in a manner of one or several doctors to one patient.The general health condition was evaluated through laboratory studies, including complete blood count, liver and kidney function, thyroid function and humoral immunity measurement.The genetic analysis of radiation damage was performed by using chromosomal aberrations and micronucleus assay (CB method).The psychological status of the patients was evaluated during medical follow-up.Results Among the three patients, two were diagnosed with degree Ⅲacute radiation-induced skin injury and one with degree Ⅱ.The medical follow-up showed that two patients had syndrome of neurasthenia.The two cases with degree Ⅲ acute radiation-induced skin injury then became chronic radiation-induced skin damage.Conclusions Acute radiation-induced skin injury could be persistent and become chronic radiation skin damage.It is important for long-term medical follow-up to be taken for patients with acute radiation-induced skin injury. |
