Abstract
We have studied the oxidant-antioxidant, serum protease inhibitor systems and serum proteolytic activity in patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with chronic bronchitis. The indices of these systems were shown to be unconnected with the duration of tuberculosis, its clinical appearances and concomitant chronic bronchitis, but mark severity of the specific process.
