  • Title: [Ciliary activity of the ciliated epithelium of the airways in patients with acute pneumonia].
    Author: Gel'tser BI, Pechatnikov LM.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1991 Dec; 69(12):35-7. PubMed ID: 1787673.
    Abstract:
    A TV unit was employed to study ciliary activity of bronchial ciliated epithelium in 53 patients with acute pneumonia (AP) at its height and in convalescence. Ciliary impairment of the epithelium is independent of AP clinical form (lobular or croupous) or of dissemination of the inflammation though is related to endobronchitis activity. The ciliary dysfunction emerged in all the patients at the height of the disease and in 65.3% of convalescents. Latent dysfunction was revealed by thermal and euphylline tests in 34.7% of the convalescents. Diagnostic criteria of ciliary dysfunction are proposed.
