title: [The validation of the frequency of performing plasmapheresis in the treatment of bronchial asthma patients].
abstract: On the basis of the analysis of plasmapheresis (PPh) influence on clinical and functional and immunological indices in 105 patients with bronchial asthma the authors have come to the conclusion that PPh effect is the number-of-procedures-dependent. The most pronounced effect occurred in those groups having been given three to five PPh procedures. The above effect begins to reveal itself during the first postoperative week but the greatest positive changes take place between the 7th and the 14th days. As it won't make any difference whether three or five PPh sessions are conducted, the authors recommend plasmapheresis to be done on a three-procedure basis.
