Abstract：
:Chronic bronchitis is a disease related to numerous etiologic factors: infections, climate influence, air pollution, cigarette smoking, etc. From a pathogenetic point of view, chronic bronchitis is generally considered as the phlogistic resultant of various irritative conditions, with a characteristic neutrophil component in the phlogistic pattern. Microbic involvement has up to now been considered a very important factor, with consequent wide utilization of antibiotic agents in basic therapy. Considerations of clinical nature induced us to consider unsatisfactory such pathogenetic concepts based on neutrophil phlogosis, while the involvement of an allergic mechanism became more acceptable. In order to solve this problem, we have carried out hitological studies on postmortem material from the respiratory tract of individuals whose death was attributable to chronic bronchitis or to concurrent chronic bronchitis. Results of our study conducted up to now on 60 cases may be summarized as follows: Bronchitis with lymphomonoplasmacytoid phlogosis of immunoallergic type (60%), bronchitis with neutrophil phlogosis of irritative-infective type (20%); bronchitis with mixed allergic-neutrophil phlogosis (20%). Lymphocytes, monocytes and plasma cells are directly involved in allergic tissue reactions, both of immediate and delayed type because they release active substances such as hsitamine, bradyquinine, quinine, etc., which will their multiple pharmacodynamic actions are responsible of various anatomic and functional changes in hypersensitivity. Infiltration of the bronchial mucosa with lymphomonoplasmacytary cells in chronic bronchitis, has a pattern of mixed allergic phlogosis of immediate and delayed type. Prophylaxis and management of chronic bronchitis should therefore be set up on new bases, with the various treatments used for hyperactive pathology.
