Some clinical and immunological particularities induced by radiation exposure were revealed in adverse allergopathology in persons, who dealt with consequences of Chernobyl accident. The data we received indicated the failure of the immune system, endocrine diseases, disturbances of the sympathetic nervous system, enhanced skin reactivity that, being summarized, lead to alteration in central and peripheral mechanisms of the immune system regulation. These changes could foster progression of some types of allergopathology.
