Sixty-seven workers employed in incapsulating and manufacturing antibiotics were studied by the authors by means of questionnaire, environmental survey, clinical examination and hematochemical, immunologic and microbiological determinations. The main features of respiratory and genital disturbances are discussed. Two cases of occupational asthma due to ampicillin were detected. Twenty-four out of forty-five female workers were found to be affected with vaginitis (due to Candida albicans in fourteen): a relationship with the working environment is hypothesized. The digestive tract disturbances are reported and the prevalence of dental discoloration is stressed. Finally the psycho-pathological pattern of the factory workers is outlined.
作者通过问卷调查、环境调查、临床检查以及血液生化、免疫和微生物学检测等方式，对67名从事抗生素封装和生产工作的工人进行了研究。文中讨论了呼吸和生殖系统紊乱的主要特征。检测出两例因氨苄青霉素导致的职业性哮喘。45名女工中有24名被发现患有阴道炎（其中14例由白色念珠菌引起）：据此推测这与工作环境有关。报告了消化道紊乱情况，并强调了牙齿变色的患病率。最后概述了工厂工人的心理病理模式。
