Basing on the results of original research and foreign literature data, the author proved the necessity of including antibiotic induced allergic vasculitis in the occupational diseases list. These forms of vasculitis are characterized by specific clinical features, including nervous system, internal organs and skin disorders, and can be referred to as the secondary allergic vasculitis. Their including in the OD list in important for proper diagnosing occupational pathology and subsequent labour ability expertise, since resulting occupational disability is in most cases caused by NS disorders.
