摘要: Rationale Respiratory infections are common after strenuous exercise, when salivary immunity may be altered. We aim to investigate changes in a marathon and its relationship with lower respiratory tract (LRTI) healthy non-elite runners. Methods Forty seven runners (28 males 19 females) who completed the 42.195 km of 2016 Barcelona were studied. Saliva blood samples collected day before two days end race. Salivary IgA, antimicrobial proteins (lactoferrin, lysozyme) chemokines (Groα, Groβ, MCP-1) determined using ELISA kits saliva supernatant. Blood biochemistry haemogram analyzed all participants. The presence LRTI was considered those reported infectious symptoms during minimum 3 consecutive 2 weeks race. Results Eight participants (17%) presented follow-up. Higher lysozyme levels detected race compared without infection. A decrease lysozyme, Groα Groβ observed did not develop basal levels. correlated basophil counts, leukocyte counts. Conclusions LRTI runners. Changes related correlate systemic defense cells, which suggest an important role development
