[Mucociliary clearance in children with juvenile chronic arthritis evaluated with the saccharine test]. / Oczyszczanie sluzowo-rzeskowe u dzieci z mlodzienczym przewleklym zapaleniem stawów oceniane za pomoca testu sacharynowego.

The aim of this study was an evaluation of the mucociliary clearance of airways with saccharine test in children with juvenile chronic arthritis. In tested group the displacement time of saccharine was significantly longer than in healthy children. In control group the displacement time of saccharine was longer in children older 13 years, but in tested group the quality of mucociliary clearance was independent of age and of arthritis duration. The mucociliary clearance impairment wasn't dependent of increasing incidence of infections of respiratory system.
