RESUMO
Beeley, J. M., Darke, C. S., Owen, G., and Cooper, R. D. (1974).Thorax, 29, 21-25. Serum zinc, bronchiectasis, and bronchial carcinoma. Serum zinc levels were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 65 patients with proven bronchiectasis; the mean level was 93 μg/100 ml, while the levels in two groups of healthy control subjects were 88·6 and 92·7 μg/100 ml respectively. The range of individual values was similar in all groups and the differences between the mean serum zinc levels of the two groups of control subjects and the mean level of the group of patients with bronchiectasis were small and did not attain significance at the conventional 0·05 level. In contrast, the mean level in bronchial carcinoma patients (75·9 μg/100 ml) was significantly less than in each of the other groups of subjects.
