title: [Immune disorders and chronic exposure to organic solvents. Case-control study in the operators who are in organic synthesis laboratories].
abstract: The industrial society characterized by the continuing innovation in science and technology has resulted in the introduction of new business cycles chemicals which could act as "triggers" for the initiation of alterations, still latent in the clinical aspect, dependents the immune system in people who are professionally exposed. In recent years, numerous studies have shown over exposed to organic solvents some immunological abnormalities, regarding, for example: complementemy, immunoglobulinic classes, typing lymphocyte (CD3, CD4, CD8) and appearance anti-nucleo of antibodies (ANA). Our study was conducted, in health surveillance, of operators of the University of Palermo, on a sample of subjects who were exposed to organic solvents and compared with a control group not exposed, considering some parameters such as possible indicators of Immunological Trim disturbance.
