Purpose. To detect genome enteroviruses in the sputum of miners with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and determine their role in the development of this disease.

Materials and methods. 60 miners diagnosed with COPD of occupational etiology were included in this study. A viral genome was detected in samples of sputum. The detection of enterovirus RNA was performed by polymerase chain reaction whith reverse transcription stage. The electrophoresis in 1.5% agarose gels with etidiy bromide was performed to visualize the ampli¬fication products. The type of virus identified by virus neutralization.

Results. The enterovirus RNA was found in 17 (28.3 %) of miners, suffered from COPD. Coxsackie virus B2, B3, B4, B5 were identified in 7 samples of sputum as infections viral agents. The increase in the frequency of detection of enteroviruses, based on length of service in conditions of dust exposure was found. However, it was no relation between the severity of COPD and the frequency of the isolated enteroviruses.

Conclusion. These data suggested a probable persistence of enteroviruses in patients with COPD and their role in the initiation of the disease exacerbation.

Key words: enteroviruses, underground miners, COPD
