Popis: | Background: Damage to lung surfactant (LS) enabling the lung local immunity may contribute to the development of bronchial inflammation in patients with bronchial asthma. Methods and Results: A 40-day course of 16 LS (Surfactant-BL) inhalations at the dose of 25mg was added to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and short/long-acting bronchodilators or combined inhalers in 14 patients with bronchial asthma. After 7 inhalations, patients demonstrated a significant decrease in shortness of breath and bronchospasm attacks, double reduction of ICS dose (p=0.01), and improvement of pulmonary function. Forced vital capacity (FVC) increases during treatment in a linear fashion (y=62.9+5.60•x; p |
