title: [The level of biogenic amines in bronchi of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis].
abstract: Histamine and serotonin levels were measured in expired air humidity condensate (EAHC), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and sputum of 9 patients with chronic nonobstructive bronchitis and 25 healthy controls. It was found that concentration of biogenic amines depended on the form of chronic bronchitis, activity of bronchial inflammation, characteristics of bronchial obstruction, degree of respiratory insufficiency. EAHC furnished most complete information.
