[Use of immunomycologic indicators in solving the problems of health protection of pregnant workers in the microbial synthesis industry]

Abstract

The study of 106 pregnant women engaged in microbiological synthesis production revealed the tendency to increasing genitalia contamination by Candida yeast-like fungi, including fungi-protein producers, and also oppression of immunologic reactivity in comparison with nonpregnant women and the control group. It was pointed out that from the beginning of their pregnancy period women should have no contact with yeast-like fungi.
