The state of knowledge regarding
the treatment of patients potentially exposed to hazardous substances
in the environment is constantly evolving and is often uncertain.
In the series, ATSDR has made diligent effort to ensure the accuracy
and currency of the information presented, but makes no claim that
the case study documents comprehensively address all possible situations
related to this substance. The case studies are intended as an additional
resource for physicians and other health professionals in assessing
the condition and managing the treatment of patients potentially
exposed to hazardous substances. They are not, however, a substitute
for the professional judgment of a health care provider. The case
studies must be interpreted in light of specific information regarding
the patient and in conjunction with other sources of authority.
