    Abstract:
    Thirty-eight patients with infectious-allergic bronchial asthma and thirty-four ones with chronic obstructive bronchitis were exposed to laser irradiation of blood. Control group given standard chemotherapy, consisted of 30 bronchial asthma and 30 chronic obstructive bronchitis patients. The immunity assessed in both groups exhibited the following changes in the study patients: T-lymphocytes count rose as well as their proliferative ability and concentration of immunoglobulins, the activity of oxygen-dependent metabolism inhibited, neutrophil absorptive capacity reduced. Restoration of normal cell function can serve a criteria of on-going laser therapy efficacy.
