RESUMO
104 cases of pneumonia, treated in Department of Pulmonary Diseases of Military Medical Academy in the years 1995-1997, were analysed. Patients were divided into two groups. In the first group were 58 patients which had acute symptoms of pneumonia and the treatment was started in our department without any treatment before. In the second group were 45 patients which had acute symptoms two or three weeks before admission to hospital. In this period these patients received one or more antibiotics. The bacteriological findings and the periods of the treatment were analysed in these both groups.

We have studied the sensitivity of pulmonary mast cells and blood basophils in patients with sarcoidosis and bronchial asthma. The cells were induced in vitro with anti-IgE. The histamine releasing from mast cells and basophils was high in both examined groups of patients. The histamine releasing from mast cells in patients with sarcoidosis was 27.8-47.1% and in asthmatic patients 42.8-58.9%. The histamine releasing from basophils was 38.2-57.9% and 41.0-62.1%, respectively. The high sensitivity of mast cells of patients with sarcoidosis may suggest that these cells play an essential role in pathology of this disease.

The results of transthoracic biopsy in 100 cases and of transthoracic punction in 42 cases were analysed. The material which was obtained by the two methods was on principle investigated cytologically. A comparison of the two methods is given. The rate of complications with both methods was approximately 10% pneumothorax rarely haemoptysis. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods are demonstrated.
