The relationship between humoral antibacterial immunity and oxygen-dependent metabolism of neutrophils in young children with various types of bronchitis

Abstract

In the relapsing nature of obstructive bronchitis as in the case of acute obstructive bronchitis the percent of children with polyimmunization in the given variant of bronchitis reached 63,2% of the number of examined persons. In bronchial asthma the phenomenon of polyimmunization was typical for all examined persons of the given group, in this case in the majority of children the level of antibodies was high to 56 antigenes and in some of them even to 78 antigenes. The level of spontaneous luminol dependent chemoluminescence at the height of the disease was higher than 1000 imp/min in the children with the phenomenon of polyimmunization. The results show the relationship between oxygen dependent metabolism of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and natural polyimmunization depending on the genesis of the pathological process of the bronchial tree.
