    Abstract:
    Free histamine (FH) and free serotonin (FS) were studied fluorometrically in blood serum of 26 patients with genuine polycythemia (GP), 52 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) associated with secondary erythrocytosis (SE) and 29 healthy subjects. On the grounds of the results of the study criteria of GP and COB-related SE were suggested. Diagnosis of GP can be considered valid if content of FH is no more than 3.1 times, FS content no less than 3 times and FH/FS ratio is no more than 2.65 times as much as normal. Levels of FH and FS and FH/FS ratio in SE related to COB are characterized by 4-fold and more, 2.9 and less and 4.64 and more increase respectively.
