[Clinico-genetic parallels in infectious inflammatory diseases of the lungs]. / Kliniko-geneticheskie paralleli pri infektsionno-vospalitel'nykh zabolevaniiakh legkikh.

Investigation of the blood genetic markers ADB, Rh, Hp and Tr in 186 patients with chronic infectious inflammatory diseases of the lung revealed a significant increase in the blood group B(III), Rh- and phenotype Hp 2-2. It is proposed to consider the association of the blood group B(III), Rh- and Hp 2-2. as an unfavourable prognostic sign of infectious inflammatory diseases of the lung.

Studies of haptoglobin phenotypes (Hp) by disk electrophoresis in 173 patients with various, infectious inflammatory pulmonary diseases have revealed a growing incidence rate of Hp2-2. This has prompted a conclusion that Hp2-2 may be regarded as a serum genetic marker indicating a high risk of an inflammatory pulmonary disease.
