[Clinico-allergological studies of workers in the manufacture of fodder yeasts].

The authors have examined 161 persons from the production of fodder yeasts. On the background of detailed clinical examination are performed immunoallergological studies, including skin allergologic tests with series of standard allergens and antigens of the produced culture yeasts and determined immunoprecipitants in the blood serum. Increased sensibilization is established in 34.7% of the examined, as the prevailing cases are with monoallergy. More seldom--in 18.8% are established immunoprecipitations with the professional allergens. The changed general and specific immunoallergologic reactivity in part of the workers is due exclusively to the biological factors of the working environment.
