title: [Dermatomycoses in workers in enterprises of the microbiological industry].
abstract: Mycologic examination of 54 patients with clinical manifestations of dermatomycosis, engaged in glucose oxidase and catalase production has found a producer fungus, Penicillium vitale in 31 (38%); 3 out of 37 people contacting with producers of glucamylase and pectofetidine appeared to be infected by Aspergillus awamori (1.1%) and Aspergillus foetidus (1.1%), respectively. The producers were isolated from the skin of 40 (16.44%) out of 243 workers having no clinical signs of dermatomycosis, mainly in drying, granulating and microbiology lab workers. Dermatophytes (50.9%), yeast fungi (1.8%) and other agents were isolated from the skin of patients with clinical manifestations of dermatomycoses. Age and sex of personnel, length of service and infectious contamination of technological premises were found to influence the skin disorder caused by dermatophytes in combination with producer fungi. Prophylactic measures to prevent the contamination of air and skin by producer fungi and their metabolite are to be developed.
