Abstract
An original TV system was employed to evaluate ciliary function of til e respiratory epithelium in patients with acute pneumonia, acute bronc hitis, prebronchitis, chronic bronchitis. Criteria for identification of early ciliary dysfunction have been developed. The effects on cilia ry movements of eicosanoids, platelet-activating factor, protease, bio genic amines and mechanisms underlying ciliary dysfunction in nonspeci fic pulmomary diseases are considered.
