| Abstract |
Ninety-six workers occupationally exposed to a range of biological factors (length of exposure: 1 month to 8yrs or more) were examined for changes in the immune system. All had positive skin reactions to Candida maltosi and depression of all elements of the immune system. This case shows a typical combination of increased sensitisation with depression of the immune system. Disturbances in certain elements of the immune system in patients with skin and pulmonary pathology indicate direct and active participation of immune reactions in the pathogenesis of these diseases. |
