title: [Blood glycoproteins as an indicator of the activity of the inflammatory process in the bronchi].
abstract: The paper is concerned with the results of clinical observation of 161 patients with chronic bronchitis aged 20 to 65 and 120 healthy controls. Serum glycoproteins (haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin) were determined over time in the patients with chronic bronchitis using the colorimetric method. Activation of bronchial inflammation was shown to be attended by a sharp rise of blood haptoglobin and ceruloplasmin imbalance. Changes revealed in concentrations of blood glycoproteins did not return to normal in many of the patients for long. The above parameters should be used for differential-diagnostic purposes.
