title: [The characteristics of the course of chronic dust-induced bronchitis in workers in granite quarries].
abstract: Our objective in this study was to go into particular features of the clinical course that chronic bronchitis runs in those men working in granite quarries. The studies made showed chronic bronchitis to have peculiar clinical manifestations leading to the development of pulmonary insufficiency and diffuse pneumosclerosis presenting with atrophic and sclerosal changes in bronchial mucosa. Investigations designed to study systemic immunity status permitted the changes in the T-system to be revealed, with indices for the B-system being in the normal range.
