In bronchial asthma alone and combined with active pulmonary tuberculosis
there are marked shifts in immune system (diminished mature T-cell and
suppressor subpopulation of T-lymphocytes) resulting in disordered
immunoregulatory subpopulation relationships. Also, B-system immunity
responded with hyperfunctional activity (increased count of B-lymphocytes
and polyclonal gammaglobulinemia). As conventional methods fail to normalize
the shifts, an adjuvant laser immunocorrection was tried. Laser radiation
displayed a good immunocorrecting action and therefore is recommended for
patients with bronchial asthma and associated diseases
