[Immune reactivity in pneumoconiosis and coniotuberculosis in machine builders].
Immune status was examined in 231 patients facing pneumoconiosis and coniotuberculosis so as to observe a dependence on pneumoconiosis type (silicosis, electric welder's pneumoconiosis), severity of the process, activity of tuberculosis. Markedly changed T and B immunity, having already appeared at initial stage of the disease, were revealed. Those changes due to the tuberculosis activity were characterized by lymphocytosis, marked functional immaturity of T lymphocytes, depressed B lymphocytes count, elevated serum Ig level.
