[Parameters of membrane permeability, microcirculation, external respiration, and trace element levels in the drug-laser treatment of pneumonia].
OBJECTIVE
To study effects of laser therapy in combined treatment of pneumonia on external respiration function, membrane permeability, microcirculation and serum trace elements.


METHODS
142 pneumonia patients were randomly divided into two groups: 96 patients treated with drugs and laser radiation (the study group) and 46 patients treated with drugs only (control group).


RESULTS
In the study group there was more pronounced reduction in cell membrane permeability, a rise in concentrations of iron and chromium in the blood serum, improvement of microcirculation. These changes closely correlated with those in immunity, external respiration function.


CONCLUSIONS
Laser therapy is an effective method of pneumonia treatment and can be included in relevant combined schemes.
