ABSTRACT
AIM: To study antiinfluenza vaccination (AIV) effects on the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in metallurgists. MATERIAL AND METHODS: COPD and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) morbidity was studied in' metallurgists as well as a 5-year trend in functional tests in a group of 51 patients with moderate AR VI. RESULTS: It is shown that ARVI play a key role in activation of persisting infection in COPD. CONCLUSION: AIV reduces the rate and severity of COPD exacerbations, suppresses the disease progression.
