  • Title: [The morphological determination of immune reactivity in coniotuberculosis].
    Author: Slinchenko NZ, Bazovkin PS, Filipchenko LL.
    Journal: Gig Tr Prof Zabol; 1990; (10):34-7. PubMed ID: 2276664.
    Abstract:
    A study was performed on the immune reactivity of coniotuberculosis cases among iron-ore miners from initial to developed stages by means of a postmortem morphometric analysis of the pathologic changes. It was revealed that the disease was characterized by a marked decrease in immune reactivity which progressed along with the disease. It was established that the process was influenced by the age, the ferrum oxide (III) and cremnium dioxide content in the lungs, and the TB infection as such. Much influence was also caused by other sporadic environmental factors.
