[Measurement of sIgA in patients with chronic stable bronchitis].

As we know secretory IgA of respiratory system has a very important role in defense mechanism. We studied 100 human beings, 50 healthy persons and 50 chronic bronchitis patients. Lavage nasal samples were tacked from healthy persons and sputum samples from chronic bronchitis patients. The laboratory test was nefelometry laser. Samples were analyzed was 1 student. Our results showed light increased of IgA in chronic bronchitis patients not significative. We concluded that this light increased is secondary to continuous stimulus of bronchial mucous as a part of defense mechanism.

[Comparative study of secretory IgA].

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was measure and compare Secretory IgA levels in the respiratory tract. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Neumology Department of General Hospital. La Raza Medical Center Mexico. MATERIAL AND METHOD: There were 35 volunteers. Samples of sputum, washings nasopharyngeal and bronchial was obtained from thirty five patients with COPD. Measurement of SIgA levels was performed by nephelometric technique. Results is reported as ratio of SIgA concentration/Total proteins concentration named SIgA relative concentration. Correlation index was obtained of three type of samples. RESULTS: The SIgA values of sputum, washings nasopharyngeal and bronchial was similar similar +/- 0.011, 0.064 +/- 0.007 and 0.082 +/- 0.017 respectively). Multiple correlation was r = 0.508 (p < 0.01).
