[Industrial medicine in Latvia].

The authors have reflected new trends in occupational health in Latvia. At present the whole system of general health care in Latvia is under consolidation and reconstruction. Thus, the occupational health and safety system of Latvia, as a nature part of general health care system is also under changes and reconstruction. Today Latvia's workforce consist of 1.68 million people, working in a large number of workplaces, mainly in industry and agriculture. There are still very hazardous working conditions in many workplaces. The total number of diagnosed occupational diseases ranges from 90 to 220 cases per year. If counted per 100,000 workers the rates of occupational diseases are 5.1 in 1981 and 23.4 in 1995. New system of occupational health is under development in Latvia. New legislation and regulations are published and extensive training for specialists provided. A new system of information is under construction as well as new hygienic standards. Main stress is paid to ensure that standards of EC are met.

[Problems of work hygiene and occupational pathology in industrial poultry breeding farms].

The major hazardous factors of the labour conditions in modern poultry farms are presented by dust mixtures including both vegetable and organic substances, biologically active substances and microorganisms, gaseous products, as well as unfavourable microclimate conditions and physical overload. Detailed medical examinations of poultry farmers revealed dependence of respiratory and pulmonary diseases, cardiovascular and nervous disorders on the labour conditions, the major etiologic factor being such allergens as feathers, down, blood serum, poultry excrements, bacteria and fungi.

[Immunological monitoring and correction of the immune disorders in allergic diseases in poultry growers].

It was established that allergic diseases of poultry farmers were characterized by the shifts in immunoregulation expressed in terms of the decrease of the number of T-lymphocyte-suppressors, precursors of effectory and immunoregulatory T-lymphocytes, reduction of functional actifity of T- and B-cells along with an increase in the content of B-lymphocytes with antibody-dependent killers' sensitization and suppression of nonspecific protective factors. The results suggested that the use of immunomodulatory drugs helped to improve clinicoimmunologic indicators.

[Aerogenic microflora in animal husbandry and poultry breeding areas, criteria of its harmful effect and hygienic regulation].

In consequence of the analysis of workers' health status and microbic contamination of the working zone of animal and poultry husbandry production area the study established direct dependence of microorganism sensitization rate, incidence of infectious and allergic skin and respiratory diseases on microbic aerosol concentration. Feasibility of aerogenic microflora standardization was substantiated proceeding from the comparison of hygienic and clinical findings; MAC for microbic aerosol was set up for the working zone.
