Abstract

Background: This descriptive study attempts to investigate the late concurrent ophthalmic pulmonary, coetaneous, and psychiatric complications caused by exposure to the CHEMICAL AGENTS.Materials &Methods: 476 chemical agent patients from Marrivan who aged 21-60 were randomly selected to participate in this study, in order to classify their different complications into mild, moderate and severe.Results: 47.7% of the patients were female, while 52.3% were male. 89.9% were married, but 10.1% were single. 95.4% were exposed to the chemical gases once, 95.4% twice, 3.1% for three times and 0.2% four times and more. Since 89.3% had primary eye symptoms and 96.6% suffered respiratory, 90.8% dermal and 52.5% psychiatric symptoms, 96.3% of the patients used ophthalmic medications and 86.1% took is respiratory, 82.6% dermal and 52.5% neural medications. Moreover, the ophthalmic complications were classified as 25.8% mild, 0.2% moderate, but no severe case 74% did not show any ophthalmic ones. In addition, the respiratory complications were divided into 31.9% mild, 0.2% moderate. However, 67.9% didn't have any respiratory complications. In case of dermal ones, the complications were grouped as 23.1% mild and 0.2% moderate and 76.6% as none of these. Furthermore, the psychiatric complications were categorized as 46.6% mild, 0.2% moderate, but 53.2% were not included in any degrees of complication.Conclusions: Late ocular, pulmonary, coetaneous, and psychiatric complications of CHEMICAL AGENTS were observable after seventeen to twenty - two years of exposure to these weapons. Among all, the psychiatric symptoms were more problematic.
