[Comparative changes of TNF-alpha levels in occupational bronchial asthma patients under exposure to phytotherapy complexes and conventional corticosteroid therapy].
Occupational bronchial asthma patients appeared to have various serum levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha before initiation of phytotherapy complexes treatment. After taking phytotherapy complexes the levels of TNF-alpha normalized. That caused lower incidence of occupational bronchial asthma exacerbations and longer remission periods.
