Nosospecific features of redox processes in acute respiratory viral infections and chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system

Abstract

The review of the literature presents current data on the specific features of oxidative stress and the functional acti­vity of the antioxidant system in acute respiratory viral infections and chronic inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system. The conjugation of oxidative stress and inflammation is described. The path of development of pulmonary fibrosis associated with activated oxygen-containing metabolites is presented.
