    Abstract:
    The authors present their original experience in epidemiological and clinical diagnosis of allergical respiratory disorders in farm workers in Tschechoslovakia in the years 1966-1985. Bronchial asthma was seen in 21 subjects, allergical rhinitis in 5, allergical alveolitis (Farmer's lung) in 17. Most often with exposure while working with animals were effected. Skin prick tests were most often positive to grass, dust and cat fur allergens. Allergic alveolitis was most often of the subacute and chronic type. In 17 a positive serum aspergillin test was found.
