Deoxyribonuclease in the treatment of purulent bronchitis.
In a previous paper Armstrong and White (1950) described studies on purulent bronchial and pleural exudates, showing that extracellular fibres of deoxyribonucleoprotein were responsible for much of their viscidity. Deoxyribonuclease prepared from beef pancreas destroyed these fibres and reduced the viscidity of the exudates both in vitro and in vivo. To determine whether this is of any practica...
متن کاملEffects of rhDNase on purulent airway secretions in chronic bronchitis.
Recombinant human deoxyribonuclease (rhDNase) has been demonstrated to reduce in vitro the viscosity and to improve the transport capacity of purulent respiratory mucus in cystic fibrosis. During episodes of exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, the patients generally expectorate purulent mucus. Purulence of mucus is associated with an increased deoxyriboneucleic acid (DNA) concentration. We anal...

'Classical' symptoms and signs are often absent, and a high index of awareness is required to diagnose the condition. Thi...
