majority of lesions were superficial without
vesicle formation, and after simple dry desqua-
and eyes from srattered cathode rays. Rediciogy
clathing, and occurred usually in the fullowing
(dorsal surface) were the most common.
The
mation healed and repigmented. Approzimately 20 percent of the people in the highest
exposure group developed deeper lesions, usually occurring on the feet or neck and characterized by wet deaqnamation with ulceration.
Mild burning, itching, and pain accompanied
the lesions. The majority healed rapidly with
non-specific therapy. Residual pigment aberrations consisting of hyperpigmentation and
Inck of repigmentation and mild atrophic
changes were noted in some deeper healed lesions
nt six months and one year. Regrowth of hair,
normal in color and texture, began about 9 weeks
post-exposure and was complete at 6 months.
Biopsies of typical lesions at 3to6 weeks showed
changes consistent with radiation damage with
marked epidermal damage and muchless severe
dermal damage. Biopsies at 6 months showed
only a few residual changes. The nail discolorstion had “grown out” completely at 6 months in
all but a few individuals.
