It was not possible to demonstrate an increase in the proportion of goblet cells in the bronchioles of patients with chronic bronchitis and no emphysema, whereas other lesions, such as mucous gland hyperplasia, airway narrowing, and airway mucus were easily demonstrated in similar cases. Thus, it seems that goblet cell metaplasia is not an important factor in patients who have chronic bronchitis but little evidence of chronic airflow obstruction. Goblet cell metaplasia is an obvious feature of patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, especially in those with symptomatic or fatal chronic airflow obstruction, and it may be responsible for producing obstruction in the peripheral airways of these subjects. The role of goblet cell metaplasia in smokers with little airflow obstruction is uncertain from the data presented. No difference was noted in the proportion of goblet cells between bronchitic patients and nonbronchitic smokers who did not have clinical airflow obstruction.
