    TLDR Kainar syndrome symptoms may be linked to nuclear test exposure effects.
    The document discussed the emergence of "Kainar syndrome" in the Kainar village, characterized by symptoms such as increased bleeding, hair loss, fainting, and fatigue, with leucopenia found in blood tests. Initially, these symptoms were attributed to brucellosis and vitamin deficiency rather than nuclear tests. Despite skepticism, a second study in 1959 confirmed the initial findings. Consequently, the Antibrucellosis Dispensary was established to study the health effects of nuclear tests, later becoming the Research Institute for Radiation Medicine and Ecology. The clinical signs observed in Kainar residents were challenging to explain, potentially linked to dosimetry and psychological effects of exposure.
