Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate effects of low-level laser blood irradiation on nitric oxide (NO) in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods. The patients were divided into two groups: the control group receiving medication treatment only and the study group additionally receiving low-level laser blood irradiation (LLBI). NO was detected as a sum of its end products using immunoenzyme assay. Results. A significant improvement in NO level after LLBI was seen both in patients with baseline increased or decreased concentration of NO metabolites. Conclusion. LLBI in patients with community-acquired pneumonia was accompanied by improvement of endothelial function.
