[Changes in the serological indices of the immune status of workers in contact with raw foodstuffs contaminated by mycotoxins].

Abstract

The immune status was estimated in workers engaged into the grain processing and exposed to constant hazards of the industrial environment (contact with the goods contaminated by mycotoxins). Studies revealed in workers the certain changes of serum Ig, complement fractions, proteins of the acute phase of inflammation. The importance of immunologic changes as criteria for adequate prophylactic measures was stressed.
