[The importance of the cytochemical diagnosis of the inflammatory process in the lungs for the treatment and rehabilitation of children with recurrent bronchitis]. / Znachenie tsitokhimicheskoi diagnostiki vospalitel'nogo protsessa v legkikh dlia lecheniia i reabilitatsii detei, bol'nykh retsidiviruiushchim bronkhitom.

It has been shown that common clinical and paraclinical methods of diagnosis of recurring bronchitis in children fail to detect subclinical activity of the inflammatory process in the lungs, which fact poses rather difficult problem of treatment and rehabilitation in such pediatric patient populations. Cytochemical diagnosis relying on values for activity of acid phosphatase and labilization of membranes of blood multinuclear leucocytes lysosomes permits overcoming the above difficulties, enhancing efficiency of the treatment.

[Characteristics of the course of bronchitis in allergy]. / Osobennosti techeniia bronkhitov pri allergii.

The course of bronchitis with clinical manifestations of allergy is characterized by certain cytochemical features which (as compared with bronchitis without allergy) show an increase of deoxyribonucleic acid, increased permeability of the intracellular membranes of polynuclear leucocytes and lymphocytes, reduction of the content of cationic proteins and activity of acid phosphatase in the polynuclear leucocytes of the blood.
