[Immunologic response of divers working in the conditions of increased microbial contamination of water under pressure up to 5.1 MPa]. / Immunologichaskaia reaktivnost' akvanavtov pri rabote v usloviiakh povyshennoi mikrobno'i zagraznennosti vodno'i sredy pod davleniem do 5.1 MPa.

The complex investigation of immune and nonspecific reactivity of 30 aquanauts was carried out during five experimental saturation divings up to 350-500 m accompanied by an increase of microbic contamination in water of the hyperbaric chamber. Peculiarities of humoral immune response and phagocyte functions were found to depend on the inflammatory disease of aquanauts. It is concluded that the situational transitory immune deficiency development under the influence of hyperbaric factors is possible and changes in the microbe spectrum are real.
