title: [Clinical studies of the differentiation of macrobullous and rarefying lung diseases].
abstract: For the purpose of macrobullous and rarefying pulmonary diseases according to clinical criteria an own examination group of 32 patients with rarefications of the lung parenchyma is analyzed. From the clinical point of view above all two characteristic forms of the course are to be demarcated. On the one hand, vast grotesque tissue defects in the sense of the progressive pulmonary dystrophy with only an insignificant component of bronchitis are found. On the other hand, relatively "small" lesions of the parenchyma are opposite to a distinct obstructive bronchitis. Thus the bronchitis syndrome may in a certain way be helpful differential-diagnostically. The importance of the protease inhibitors for the pathogenesis of such pictures of a disease and the indication of further diagnostic interventions are discussed.
