    Author: Baumeister RG, Schievelbein H, Zickgraf-Rüdel G.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 1975 Jul; 25(7):1056-64. PubMed ID: 1101900.
    Abstract:
    This contribution deals with the occurrence of cyanide and its biological pathways in the body. Especially possibilities of detoxification are pointed out. Intoxications are caused by acute and chronical cyanide uptake. Tobacco amblyopia, retrobulbar neuritis in pernicious anaemia, Leber's optic atrophy, Nigerian nutritional neuropathy, and sterility in female heavy smokers are attributed to cyanide intoxication. Various methods for treating acute and chronic cyanide intoxication are discussed.
