  • Title: [Comparative immunologic characteristics of patients with acute and chronic bronchitis].
    Author: Pokhodzeĭ IV, Sukhovskaia OA, Kulikov VD.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1989; 61(3):50-3. PubMed ID: 2741118.
    Abstract:
    Twenty patients with acute, 24 with chronic nonobstructive and 16 with chronic obstructive bronchitis were examined over time. The activity of the inflammatory process was taken into account while analyzing the data obtained in the course of immunologic studies. The patients with chronic bronchitis demonstrated a noticeable decrease in the immune response as compared to those with acute bronchitis. Application of multidimensional statistic analysis made it possible to reveal the most informative characteristics of immune responsiveness in acute and chronic bronchitis depending on the intensity of obstruction and the phase of the inflammatory process.
