217 people were examined including BA patients (n=78), patients with COPD (n=38), patients with combined asthma and COPD (n=39), and community-acquired pneumonia patients (n=17). The control group represented patients with essential hypertension and coronary heart disease (n=25) and 20 healthy persons. NE, AAT, phagocytic activity of neutrophils (FGC), oxygen blast, respiratory function and FeNO, serum IgE and IgG antibodies to Strept. pneumoniae, Neisseria perflava, Haemofil. influenzae and Staph. aigai were determined in all patients. The indicators of the functional state of neutrophils reflected the degree and severity of bronchopulmonary inflammation. Patients with bronchial asthma in combination with COPD had bacterial inflammation, manifested by bronchial obstruction with increasing level of AAT. These features were absent in patients with BA and COPD.
