[Optimal effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis by intravascular laser irradiation of blood].

Results of combined treatment of 100 patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis are presented in the paper. Intravascular laser irradiation of blood had a favourable effect on the clinical disease course, normalized parameters of lipid peroxidation, produced a marked immune stimulating and anti-inflammatory action, controlled the blood coagulation system and improved rheological blood properties. Intravascular laser irradiation of blood included in the complex of therapeutic measures increased the efficiency of therapy in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis by 12.0 +/- 2.6%.
