Factors of nonspecific immunity of the russian nord-west population
Abstract
The impact of geographical position and presence of industrial press on nonspecific immunity of Karelian Republic and Murmansk Region population was investigated. Immunological status of a subject was estimated on bactericidal activity of skin and oral microflore composition. The highest level of nonspecific immunity was observed in non-industrial settlements of Murmansk Region and the lowest in industrial settlements of Karelia. The level of immunity in non-industrial settlements of Karelia and in industrial settlements of Murmansk Region was about the same.
