[Studies on the influence of the short-time narcosis during bronchoscopy on the cellular immunity (author's transl)]

The investigations were carried out on 30 patients with different pulmological diseases before a bronchoscopy with Brevinarkon and one, four and seven days after the bronchoscopy. There were evaluated the absolute lymphocytes in the blood smear and the transformation rate in the phytohemagglutinin-induced lymphocyte transformation test. On the first day after narcosis the results showed a decrease of lymphocytes and on the following days there was to be found a suppression in the lymphocyte function.
