Chronic bronchitis frequently accompanies
silicosis
in metallurgy workers. Association of the two diseases significantly lowers life quality and disables the patients. Prophylactic measures for the diseases are elimination of the etiologic factors and detection of genetic markers for propensity and insusceptibility to
silicosis
and chronic bronchitis. Phenotypes of
Lewis a
-b- system, of Hp2-1 haptoglobin and of group-specific component Gc2-2 could be risk factors for chronic bronchitis in
silicosis
patients. Those of
Lewis a
-b+ system, of Hp2-2 haptoglobin and group-specific component Gc1-2 are resistant to chronic bronchitis on
silicosis
background.
