Immunologycal Status of Children with Bronchial Asthma during Febrile Episodes
The aim of the research was to study the diagnostic value of some immunological tests for the verification of bacterial and/or viral infection during febrile episodes of bronchial asthma exacerbations in children. On the base of allergological unit of Chernivtsi Regional Child Hospital by the method of simple random sampling there have been examined 119 child patients with bronchial asthma who were admitted to the hospital due to asthma exacerbation caused by fever. They were divided into two groups of clinical observation. The analysis of clinical and laboratory data in children with bacterial and viral febrile bronchial asthma attacks revealed that such patients more likely had higher level of T-lymchocyte of various subpopulations and indices of NBT test neutrophils.
