Abstract:
Six typical Yusho patients (3 men, 48-58 years old, and 3 women, 45-55 years old) were treated with cholestyramine, 8-12 g/day, for 24 weeks. Improvement of some symptoms, such as arthralgia and malaise, was observed in 2 men, although this effect was non-specific. None of the patients showed increment of excretion of polychlorinated biphenyl or polychlorodibenzofuran into feces.
