[Endoscopic bronchial care in patients with chronic bronchitis].

Endoscopic bronchial sanitation was made in 194 patients with an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. Catarrhal and purulent endobronchitis was endoscopically diagnosed in 121 and 73 patients, respectively. For endoscopic sanitation, therapeutical lavage was used at fiber bronchoscopy. Ringer's solution added by methyluracil and dioxidine was used as a wash liquid. In patients with staphylococcal or streptococcal infection, the bronchial washing was completed by the administration of specific phage preparations. Good and fair effects could be achieved in 97.7 of the treated patients.
