ASSESSMENT OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE INDICATORS IN ACUTE OBSTRUCTIVE BRONCHITIS IN “FREQUENTLY ILL CHILDREN”

Abstract

According to the literature data of domestic and foreign researchers, diseases of the respiratory system account for more than half of the total number of sick children, which indicates the relevance of the problem.
In infants with acute respiratory infection, the incidence of bronchial obstruction in recent years has tended to increase and reaches from 25 to 50% or more [6, 12]. The problem of frequently ill children is currently no less relevant in pediatrics [12, 14]. In Western European medicine, the term “recurrent infections” is used, which includes a dispensary group of children with frequent, repeated, recurrent respiratory infections that arise due to an imbalance in the body’s defenses. Such children have disorders of cellular and humoral immunity.
