Resumen Translation of: Professional'naja gribkovaja allergija i sposoby ee vyjavlenija. Gigiena truda i professional'nye zabolevanija, Moskva, USSR, Mar. 1972, Vol.16, No.3, p.32-35. 14 ref. A brief review of mycosis types, causes and common sites of outbreak is followed by a report of research in a chemical plant producing citric acid by Aspergillus niger fermentation. Serological testing (precipitation, complement fixation, passive haemoagglutination) and allergy testing (intradermal, leucocytolysis, Z.B. ovary reaction) in 102 employees gave frequent positive reactions in surface-fermentation, laboratory and spore-preparation workers. In chemical and deep-fermentation workers with a lower degree of exposure, positive reactions were obtained in isolated cases only. Suitable engineering measures to prevent atmospheric contamination, and the use of respirators in special cases are recommended.
