  • Title: [The condition of pulmonary protective functions in patients with pneumonia accompanied by chronic viral hepatitis B].
    Author: Velikaia OV, Provotorov VM.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 2007; 85(10):34-7. PubMed ID: 18154177.
    Abstract:
    Two groups of patients with pneumonia were observed: the main group consisted of patients with pneumonia accompanied by chronic viral hepatitis B (CVHB), and the control group contained patients without CVHB. Main group patients displayed higher activity of lysosomal and redox enzymes, as well as imbalance in the proteinase-inhibitory system and bronchial lavage phospholipid spectrum. Concomitant CVHB impaired the protective function of the lungs and thus delayed the resolution of pneumonia.
