[Treatment via autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood in patients with nonspecific lung diseases].

An analysis of 53 patients with unspecific pulmonary diseases revealed changes of the main immunity values that were more pronounced in the older age groups. It was established that autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood produced a normalizing effect on immunity values. The authors recommend this method in the clinical practice of unspecific pulmonary diseases, in particular, of the older age groups and intolerance of drug therapy.
