摘要:
The efficacy of ofloxacin for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infection was evaluated in aged patients with chronic lung disease. Results are the following: improvement of leukocytosis and arterial oxygen tension was observed; peripheral blood cell analysis showed a decrease in natural killer cell counts and in helper/suppressor T cell ratio; superoxide production by peripheral blood white cells was decreased after treatment; interleukin-2 production was rather increased. We concluded that improvement in the immunological parameters indicated the efficacy of ofloxacin for lower respiratory tract infection in aged patients with chronic lung disease.
