| Abstract |
Results of serological reactions in 782 workers in the pharmaceutical sector. The radioimmunological method, which was found to be the most sensitive, gave positive reactions in 4.3% of the cases. Those who reacted positively were then subjected to clinical tests and haematological analysis for liver disease. The following practical suggestions are made: periodic examination of all subjects exposed to possible virus contagion; exclusion of workers with positive reactions from industrial processes involving the risk of contagion; prevention of risks of contagion at the workpost or from industrial products. |
