Studies of the immune status and antipyrine test helped to analyse the status of the two body detoxicants--the immune system and the system of microsomal hepatic oxygenases in petrochemical production workers suffering from the chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. Immune deficiency of T and B cells, decreased function of cytochrome P-450 containing monooxygenase system were revealed, which indicates complicated relations between the two body detoxicant systems.
