Presence of specific IgG antibody to grain dust does not go with respiratory symptoms.
A high prevalence of work-related symptoms in relation to grain dust exposure has been reported in grain dust workers, but the role of the specific IgG antibody is unknown. To study the possible role of specific IgG (sIgG) and specific IgG4 (sIgG4) in the development of work-related symptoms, sIgG and sIgG4 subclass antibodies against grain dust antigens were determined by ELISA in sera from 43...
متن کاملDetection of Toxoplasma Parasitemia by PCR: Does it Correlate with IgG and IgM Antibody Titers?
Background: Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease with high seroprevalence worldwide. Several immunological methods have been described for diagnosis of toxoplasmosis. Objective: To determine the parasitemia period in patients infected with toxoplasma using PCR and comparing serological data with molecular results. Methods: 154 serum samples from patients with toxoplasmosis were examined. Presenc...
متن کاملRelevence of respiratory symptoms and signs to ventilatory capacity changes after exposure to grain dust and phosphate rock dust.
Ventilatory capacity was measured before and after exposure to high concentrations of wheat dust in 24 men, i8 of whom were similarly studied while working with calcium phosphate rock. Changes in venti-latory capacity were examined in relation to respiratory symptoms as commonly elicited in occupational surveys, and to the presence or absence of a productive cough on request and under observati...
متن کاملAcute symptoms following exposure to grain dust in farming.
History of acute symptoms (cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, fever, stuffy nose, and skin itching/rash) following exposure to grain dust was obtained from 661 male and 535 female current and former farmers. These symptoms were relatively common: 60% of male and 25% of female farmers reported at least one such symptom on exposure to grain dust. Association of cough, wheezing, shortness of br...
متن کاملAspergillus candidus: a respiratory hazard associated with grain dust.
The concentration of Aspergillus candidus in samples of grain dust and of air polluted with grain dust was found to be large (respectively 3.0 x 10(5) - 3.0 x 10(9) cfu/g and 5.0 x 10(3) - 6.47 x 10(5) cfu/m(3)) and proved to be significantly greater compared to samples of other organic dusts (p<0.001). Rabbits exposed to long-term inhalation of the cell extract of A. candidus revealed a positi...
