Complex clinical examination of aluminium production workers having broncho-pulmonary diseases revealed immunologic criteria of toxic dust bronchitis, diffuse pneumosclerosis and secondary infection-dependent bronchial asthma, caused by combination of occupational hazards. Contribution of allergic environmental factors was shown as they deplete immune reserves in the workers. The authors proved efficiency of contemporary immune modulator polyoxydonium, when included into the complex therapy.

Hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) is an important complication of clinical oxygen therapy, which is mainly characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults and broncho-pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants. HALI seriously affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients, so it has received more and more attention. However, the pathogenesis of HALI is complex and unclear, and there is no clear treatment method at present.
