Changes in bronchial inflammation during acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
There are little data describing noncellular changes in bronchial inflammation during exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. The relationship between sputum colour and airway inflammation at presentation has been assessed during an exacerbation in patients with chronic bronchitis and a primary care diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Sputum myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase, le...
متن کاملAirway inflammation and etiology of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The etiologic role of bacterial pathogens isolated from sputum culture in 40 to 50% of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB) is controversial. If bacterial pathogens cause these AECB, they should be associated with greater neutrophilic airway inflammation than pathogen-negative exacerbations. DESIGN This hypothesis was tested by comparing levels of interleukin (IL)...
متن کاملThe intrabronchial microbial flora in chronic bronchitis patients: a target for N-acetylcysteine therapy?
Chronic bronchitis is common among smokers, often together with recurrent infectious exacerbations. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are the pathogens traditionally considered most important. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment has been shown to reduce the number of infectious exacerbations in patients with chronic bronchitis. The mechanism behind this is unknown. We attempted t...
متن کاملRESPIRATORY INFECTION Resolution of bronchial inflammation is related to bacterial eradication following treatment of exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
Background: Recent studies of the role of bacteria in chronic bronchitis have shown that bacterial colonisation is associated with enhanced inflammation and that purulent acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB) are associated with bacteria and characterised by increased inflammation. Changes in bronchial inflammation in response to the success or failure of bacterial eradication follow...
