Serum serotonin and histamine were examined for their effects on lymphocytic dystrophic processes. During an exacerbation, there was an increase in the plasma concentration of biogenic amines (BGA) in patients with atopic and infective-and-allergic bronchial asthma. The elevated levels of BGA affected the activity of lymphocytes that were, on an exacerbation, in the functional stress accompanied by a derangement of adaptive processes that ended in cell dystrophy.
