title: [The antioxidant system in patients with influenza and influenza pneumonia].
abstract: The paper deals with the topical theme--the state of antioxidant protective components in influenza infection. The values of catalase in red blood cells and those of ceruloplasmin in plasma were studied as an indicator of antiperoxide defense. The patients were grouped according to the severity of their condition and associated complications. The studies revealed a regular reduction in plasma ceruloplasmic levels at the height of influenza. In the waning period of clinical symptoms and in early convalescence, the parameter under study did not differ from that of healthy individuals. At the same time, the trend in influenza showed a significant increase in red blood cell catalase levels with the maximum values at the height of the disease and their normalization in early and late convalescence.
