| Abstract |
Results of immunological studies in 425 women workers in the chemical and petrochemical industries exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, phenols, etc.; gynaecological disorders during pregnancy occurred in 31% of them, while in 19% serological reactions showed the presence of antierythrocyte antibodies, frequently associated with hypotension and toxaemia of pregnancy. Spontaneous abortion was observed in cases with very high antibody titres; when the titre was moderate, pregnancy resulted in stillbirths or birth of malformed infants. There was a relation between haematological changes and length of service. |
