Abstract:
Antibiotic therapy of patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive bronchitis exposed and not exposed to ozone did not improve oxidative metabolism in neutrophils. Cefazolin, ceftizoxime, and gentamicin normalized functional biocidal reserves of neutrophils, which correlated with pronounced therapeutic effects.
