[Dynamics of alpha1-antitrypsin and alpha2-macroglobulin in patients with acute and chronic pneumonia]
Abstract:
Content of alpha 1-antitrypsin and alpha 2-macroglobulin was studied in blood serum of patients with acute and chronic forms of pneumonia. Within the first decade of the disease alpha 1-antitrypsin was more distinctly increased in the patients with chronic pneumonia. Stable elevation of alpha 1-antitrypsin correlated with long-term presence of the inflammation symptoms. Content of alpha 2-macroglobulin was slightly decreased during the disease.
