Enzymes of blood serum with regard to length of work were studied in poultry farmers with exogenous allergic alveolitis (EAA). The results demonstrated decrease of alkaline phosphatase and creatine phosphokinase in patients with length of work ranging from 1 to 20 years. Lactate dehydrogenase level was increased in patients who had been working at the farm for 1-5 and 11-15 years while activities of hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase were found to be raised in patients with 11-15 and 16-20-year history of service respectively. Study of non-specific physiological reactivity of the body, namely of enzymes, in poultry farmers with EEA evidences development of metabolic disorders consisting in alterative and protective mechanisms and dysfermentosis.
