title: [Effects of laser therapy on immunity in patients with bronchial asthma and pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: In bronchial asthma alone and combined with active pulmonary tuberculosis there are marked shifts in immune system (diminished mature T-cell and suppressor subpopulation of T-lymphocytes) resulting in disordered immunoregulatory subpopulation relationships. Also, B-system immunity responded with hyperfunctional activity (increased count of B-lymphocytes and polyclonal gammaglobulinemia). As conventional methods fail to normalize the shifts, an adjuvant laser immunocorrection was tried. Laser radiation displayed a good immunocorrecting action and therefore is recommended for patients with bronchial asthma and associated diseases.
