title: [The importance of bronchoscopy in the comprehensive examination and treatment of patients with deforming bronchitis].
abstract: 5-year experience gained in three Moscow hospitals with bronchoscopic examinations of tracheobronchial lesions is analyzed. Out of 10809 procedures performed 337 were indicative of deforming bronchitis. Diagnostic evidence was furnished by x-ray, bronchography, fiber bronchoscopy with biopsy, radiologic evaluation of the lungs. Local bronchoscopic treatment was delivered to 209 patients. As a rule, the course involved 5-6 therapeutic bronchoscopies and was repeated on demand. The response was achieved in 97.6% of the patients.
