title: [Effects of polymer materials in a furniture factory on the development of mycoses in workers].
abstract: Workers engaged in furniture making suffer from foot mycosis 2.5 times more often than those having no contact with polymers; patients with occupational skin diseases suffer from this disease 2.4 times more often than other workers. The analysis of skin samples and specific allergic diagnosis show that sensitization to fungi and occupational allergens is significantly higher among those contacting with polymers used in furniture making. Mycotic infection greatly raises sensitivity to occupational allergens. Exposure to polymers significantly increases sensitizing effect of foot mycosis pathogens on workers' organisms. This factor can be regarded as a predisposition to the development of mycotic infection.
