    Author: Voronina LM, Kop'eva TN, Makarova OV.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1991 May; 111(5):512-5. PubMed ID: 1878569.
    Abstract:
    Study has been made of broncho-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT), the number and functional activity of lung phagocytes, with 42 mice BALB/c, induced by respiratory-syncytial virus. With virus inflammation a decreased number of lung macrophages, their stronger attraction and increased lung chemotaxis have been observed. The addition of bacterial infection was accompanied by an increase in lung neutrophil, lymphocyte and macrophage, a decrease in lung neutrophil chemotaxis, an increase in macrophage phagocytosis and BALT hyperplasia.
