Sd. Polozhentsev et al., FUNCTIONAL-ACTIVITY OF MONONUCLEAR PHAGOC YTES AND NONSPECIFIC ANTIVIRAL CELLULAR-RESISTANCE IN ACUTE BRONCHITIS AND PNEUMONIA, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 65(3), 1993, pp. 38-40
Functional activity of mononuclear phagocytes and antiviral cellular r
esistance have been examined in 75 patients with acute bronchitis, 159
pneumonia patients and 46 healthy males as shown by intracellular vir
emia in monocytes and lymphocytes. Progression of acute bronchitis and
pneumonia conformed to inhibition of phagocytosis in mononuclear phag
ocytes, growing percentage of virus-affected monocytes and lymphocytes
.
