Abstract

The content of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) as well as circulating immune complexes (CIC) is determined in the blood scrum of 58 programmers working with videodisolay terminals (VDT) and 19 employees not working or seldom using VDT. The higher IgG and IgA levels are revealed, with most of the persons having the exceeding norm of IgA and CIC values in the basic group. The considerable influence of work satisfaction on IgA and IgM levels and expression degree of working and chronic organization stress on CIC levels is revealed: index levels being lower at work satisfaction and at low values of stress scales. The influence of the electromagnetic 9—200 kHz range fields on the indices of the immune status is not detected. It is concluded that the immune system is made more active at work with VDT and the psychosocial factors are of great importance in this process.
