Azithromycin induces epidermal differentiation and multivesicular bodies in airway epithelia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:During a lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammation, a massive accumulation of neutrophils occurs, which is normally cleared by macrophage phagocytosis following neutrophil apoptosis. However, in cases of extensive apoptosis the normal clearance system may fail, resulting in extensive neutrophil secondary ...
