RESUMEN
La exposición sostenida a emisiones de radio podría estar relacionada con lesiones en el tejido subcutáneo. Presentamos dos casos sucedidos en tiradores de vehículo explorador de Caballería (VEC) tras unas maniobras en zona de operaciones Líbano, consistentes en una inusual tumefacción del tejido adiposo en antebrazo derecho sin antecedente de contusiones, ni contactos químicos o irradiación conocida, y con piel íntegra, que coincide con zonas de posible contacto mantenido con la antena del vehículo. La causalidad no es determinante por tratarse de una relación observacional, pero los hallazgos sugieren que deberían tomarse medidas en relación con la reducción del riesgo de exposición a radiaciones electromagnéticas en operarios de carros con antenas plegables
ABSTRACT
Sustained exposure to radio emissions could be related to injuries in the subcutaneous tissue. We present two cases registered in shooters of Cavalry Exploration Vehicle (VEC) after maneuvers in Lebanon operation area, consisting of an unusual swelling of adipose tissue in right forearm, with no known history of contusions, chemical contacts or irradiation, and with preserved skin integrity, which coincides with areas of possible contact with the antenna of the vehicle. Since the previous relation is only observational, causality is not decisive, but the findings suggest that measures should be taken in operators of cars with folding antennas, in order to reduce the risk of exposure to electromagnetic radiation
