title: [Cytochemical and immunological indices of patients with occupational dermatoses of chemical etiology].
abstract: A total of 161 male patients, aged 18 to 56, suffering from occupational dermatitis (n = 81) and eczemas (n = 80), have been examined with the use of cytochemical and immunological methods in an outpatient rehabilitation centre in the town of Mingechaur, the Azerbaijan SSR. The patients have been engaged in the manufacture of fiber glass, insulation material, and rubber articles; the dermatoses they have developed have been due to exposure to allergic and irritating components of nonconsolidated synthetic polymers and chemical ingredients of industrial rubber production. The findings evidence a significant increase of the neutrophil metabolic and functional activities in dermatitis patients and a rise of the lymphocyte activities in eczema patients. A complex of methods for the studies of leukocyte function and of changes in the immunity status, both on the cellular and subcellular levels (sensitization, inflammation, toxicity) is recommended for examinations of such patient populations.
