COPD and endobronchial polyposis associated with hypogammaglobulinemia. Are proteolytic enzymes involved?

AM Fein, JB Lipschutz, CT Lee, U Kucich, M Lippmann and G Weinbaum

Evidence obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage is presented that suggests that his lung disease resulted from both a marked increase in elastase load and a reduction in protease inhibitor function.
