Abstract:
The purpose of this research – is to study T- and B-cell immunity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) of the III^rd degree of severity, groups C and D. The study involved 72 patients. All patients with acute exacerbation of COPD III degree of severity were randomized into two groups. The first group included 28 patients with isolated course of COPD III^rd degree of severity, groups C and D; the second group consisted of 44 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD III^rd degree of severity combined with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD), stable angina pectoris (SAP). Depending on the version of the SIHD course, patients of the second group were divided into two subgroups. The main subgroup included 26 patients with concomitant SIHD SAP I-II FC. The subgroup of comparison included 18 patients with comorbid SIHD SAP I-II FC. According to the result of examination, irregularities were detected, which characterize the cellular components of the immune response.
