    Abstract:
    The superficial activity and cytological composition of bronchoalveolar washes off (BAW) were investigated in 55 patients with bronchial asthma. As compared to the control group the patients with bronchial asthma in remission demonstrated a moderate decrease in the superficial BAW activity which grew in the phase of exacerbation, a degree of variations of the superficial BAW activity depending on the expression of exacerbation. Correlation between a decrease in the superficial BAW activity and changes in an endopulmonary cytogram was found. On the 25th day of the treatment of the patients with bronchial asthma at the Tuya-Ashu mountain pass (Tien Shan, 3200 m above the sea level) under the conditions of mountain climate superficially active BAW properties and edopulmonary cytogram got back to normal.
