ABSTRACT
The article presents results of examination covering chemical metallurgic plant workers: 41% of the examinees have allergic skin diseases. Findings are that patients with occupational allergic dermatoses have variable degrees of T-immunity suppression.

269 patients with trauma of the lien were operated on, the long-term follow up results were analysed in 101 of them. 43 patients appeared to be practically healthy, 11 patients have developed various diseases, not linked with the trauma of the lien. 9 patients were operated on because of another surgical diseases. The postsplenectomy syndrome was noted in 17 (16.8%) patients. The signs of immune insufficiency were demonstrated in the operated patients.

Vitamin status, health statistics and capacity for work of miners of Karagandinsky coal field were studied. It was shown that inadequate vitamin nutrition of miners in combination with harmful occupational and environmental factors negatively influence the miner's health status and capacity for work.

Immune response was investigated in patients with acute pulmonary abscesses (APA) treated according to the discrete-dynamic scheme. The study of pathogenetic significance of immune response and chronic alcohol intoxication in APA demonstrated that failure of antiinfectious resistance of the body is one of the factors responsible for the onset, course and outcome of APA. This failure is characterized by unbalance of immune parameters, strain of immune system which is more pronounced in the presence of chronic alcoholic intoxication. It is evident that suppression of immune system shown in APA patients is an underlying cause of immunity deficiency in them.

Under study were results of clinical, immunological and bacteriological examinations of 130 patients with acute abscesses of the lungs. The complex treatment included antibacterial therapy taking into account the antibiotic sensitivity of the microflora, correction of disturbances of the protein and water-salt metabolism, desintoxication measures, immunotherapy and sanitation of purulent cavities and the tracheobronchial tree.
