Abstract
The aim of this study was investigation of cellular and humoral immunity and of systemic inflammation in patients with COPD + asthma phenotype. Methods. The study involved 115 patients (60 males) including 44 patients with stable COPD stage I–II, 39 patients with mild controlled or partially controlled asthma and 12 patients with COPD + asthma phenotype. Twenty healthy nonsmokers were included as controls. Results. Immune disorders in patients with COPD + asthma phenotype included increased numbers of T-helpers, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes and increased IgE level. Increased serum concentrations of TNF-α and IL-4 and decreased IFN-γ concentration were also found in these patients. Conclusion. Th2-type of the immune response was observed in patients with COPD + asthma phenotype; these findings could underlie persistent inflammation.
