  • Title: Biochemical studies in Tanzanian patients with ataxic tropical neuropathy.
    Author: Makene WJ, Wilson J.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1972 Feb; 35(1):31-3. PubMed ID: 5026008.
    Abstract:
    Data on thiocyanate and vitamin B(12) concentrations in plasma from Tanzanian patients with ataxic tropical neuropathy are presented and support the hypothesis that, as in Nigeria, the condition may result from chronic exposure to cyanide or cyanogens from a diet including large amounts of cassava.
