METHOD FOR DETERMINING EXPEDIENCY OF IMMUNOASSAY IN ANIMAL-BREEDING WORKERS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/53 G01N33/49 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: chronic infectious-inflammatory diseases (CIIDs) are diagnosed. Clinical blood analysis and bacteriological tests are conducted. A sensibilisation index (SI) and an immune responsiveness index (IRI) are calculated; total microbial count per 1 m³ of the working space air is measured, and the total microbial number (TMN) is derived. If the TMN is less than 500 CFU/m³ with no CIIDs diagnosed accompanied by the SI of less than 1.08 standard units and the IRI of less than 13 standard units, the immunoassay is considered to be inadvisable. If the TMN falls within the range of 500-2,500 CFU/m³ with one CIID diagnosed accompanied by the SI from 1.08 to 1.3 standard units and the IRI from 13.1 to 15.7 standard units, the immunoassay with the first-level tests seems advisable. Whereas the TMN exceeding 2,500 CFU/m³ with at least two CIIDs accompanied by the SI of 1.4-1.5 standard units and the IRI of 15.8-18.3 standard units, the immunoassay with the second-level tests is thought expedient.

EFFECT: invention enables detecting the workers in need of further examination for the purpose of timely immune correction in the setting of mass routine examinations.
