The Functional Study of the Lungs During Pollen Bronchial Asthma
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the function of the lungs in pollen bronchial asthma. The authors used Tiffeneau's test, determined compliance test and applied pneumotachometry. A total of 30 patients with pollen asthma with an allergy to pollen of cereal grass, trees and wormwood were examined. Investigations were made during the period of remission and post-vaccinal inhalation test with a specific pollen allergen. Results of investigations showed that in pollen bronchial asthma and during remission the function of external respiration was found to be lowered. Sensitivity of the broncho-pulmonary apparatus to acetylcholine in pollen asthma fluctuated from 0.001 to 1% and corresponded to the severity of the disease. Threshold doses of a specific pollen allergen was from 1:1024 to the units of protein nitrogen 10 000 in 1 ml. The authors assume that normal indices of the external respiration function during remission of pollen bronchial asthma with a protracted course are characteristic of the atopic form of bronchial asthma (as distinct to an infectious-allergic form).
