  • Title: [Effect of occupational lead exposure on the immunoglobulin concentration and cellular immune function in man].
    Author: Castillo Méndez A, Rodríguez Díaz T, León Lobeck A, Gravalosa Cruz AJ.
    Journal: Rev Alerg; 1993; 40(4):95-7. PubMed ID: 8143025.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of immunological conditions of 14 workers occupationally exposed to lead and comparison of these results with those of a non-exposed control group with similar age and sex were the aims of this study. It was determined the mean values of lead in blood. In exposed workers it was 46.9 ug/dl while in the control group it was 10.9 ug/dl. Levels of immunoglobulin decreasing while increasing lead concentration in blood were found in those exposed. It was also found a significant diminishment in the formation of rosette in relation to the control group.
