title: [Mercury as an allergic factor].
abstract: A current opinion on the allergenic effect of mercury is presented with particular reference to its organic mixtures (merthiolat, thimerosal). The contribution of preventive vaccinations to the allergy occurrence is discussed. It is suggested that the number of sensitized persons will be increasing because of routine vaccination of health service workers and medical students against viral hepatitis, very common in Poland.
