Abstract

Background: Chemical victims who have a history of exposure to SULFUR MUSTARD GAS comprise considerable number of our young population. To evaluate the rate of OSTEOPOROSIS in a group of ASTHMAtic victims of SULFUR MUSTARD GAS and to compare it with non-chemical ASTHMAtic patients, in order to determine the distribution, site of involvement, intensity of effects, and difference or indifference with non-exposed group. Materials and methods: In this prospective study, 100 ASTHMAtic male patients who had a history of exposure to SULFUR MUSTARD GAS were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and matched with 100 non-chemical ASTHMAtic male patients as to age, duration of disease, duration of cotrticosteroid therapy, and the form of therapy. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test was performed on hip and lumbar vertebras in case and control groups evaluated in accordance to WHO criteria. Independent-sample T test was used to analyze the results.Results: There is a significant difference (p<0.05) between the two groups in the range of OSTEOPOROSIS and osteopenia. No significant correlation was found between age and complications. Most changes (65%) were observed in the vertebral column, and hip involvement (%5) was much more severe in the case group. Conclusion: Considering the morbidities caused by this chemical warfare agent, the osteoporotic complications in chemical victims can intensify their disabilities. Therefore, preventive measures must be undertaken to reduce complications.
