Abstrakt: Simultaneous study of immune state and HLA-testing was conducted for 73 patients with pneumoconiosis and 52 sufferers from dust bronchitis. The HLA antigens appeared to correlate with immune disorders in those diseases. The study revealed differences in the HLA antigens causing immune changes in pneumoconiosis and dust bronchitis. Those differences corresponded to differences between the markers of propensity to those diseases. Thus, the authors assume that formation of pneumoconiosis or dust bronchitis could depend on genetically determined variants of immune disorders.
