Allergy and Some Biochemical Indices in Workers in the Antibiotic Industry,
Abstract
In workers engaged in the preparation of antibiotics who had complained of allergic reactions, a decrease of the histamine-pectic index and an increase in the activity of the diamine oxidase of the blood serum was noted. Persons in whom a lowering in the histamine-pectic index is noted must not be accepted for work which is connected with the dust of antibiotics. The increase in the level of the enzymes which destroy histamine in the blood serum is a compensator reaction to an increase in free histamine, and a lowering of this indicator below normal is a poor prognostic sign.
