| Abstract |
The leukocyte lysis tests of Alekseeva and Dueva showed that 51% of the welded-tube plant workers examined were sensitive to either or both fluorine and manganese, whereas no cases of sensitivity were detected in a control group. This sensitisation was correlated with an elevated frequency of inflammation of the soft tissues of the mouth in the tube workers, periodontitis and increased deposits on their teeth. |
