[The mechanisms of the development of status asthmaticus]

The author provides evidence confirming the fact that disturbance of mucociliary clearance (mucobronchostasis) because of chronic bronchitis and repetitive contacts with allergens underlies asthmatic condition. Hypophysis on leading role of B2-adrenoreceptor block in pathogenesis of asthmatic condition was not confirmed as the block occurs occasionally and depends on the disease form and severity.
