Abstract
Abstract Different types of solvents and adhesives are used in a shoe factory. The toxic chemicals can cause acute and chronic effects on the central and peripheral nervous system. Here, we report a case of a 25-year-old young man working as a coloring and gluing worker in a shoe factory, who presented with progressive quadriparesis following exposure of six months. Some of his coworkers also developed a similar illness. Nerve conduction velocity studies of the patient showed combined sensory and motor demyelinating and axonal polyneuropathy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was normal. With conservative management and physiotherapy, there is a gradual improvement of the condition in the patient who can ambulate independently now.
