Sažetak
The concentration of the lysozyme in the sera of healthy children and of the children with various respiratory disorders (bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, pneumonia and lung tuberculosis) was determined by a simple and fast turbidimetric procedure. Increased values of lysozyme were found in sera taken from all groups of children studied, but were highest (p<0, 001) in children with pneumonia (diagnostic sensitivity was 96%). A simultaneous increase in the leukocyte coun in pneumonia did not significantly contribute to an increase in sysozyme concentration (r=0, 068). Accordingly, determination of lysozyme concentration in serum is considered useful in routine procedures as a simple, rapid and inexpensive method in initial examinations of patients with pulmonary disorders.
