ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE BRONCHITIS IN FREQUENTLY ILL CHILDREN

Abstract

Relevance. Despite the progress achieved in diagnosis and treatment, diseases of the respiratory system still occupy one of the first places in the structure of morbidity among children and adolescents. This is due to the deterioration of the environmental situation throughout the world, and the pathology of the respiratory system is closely related to the environment [1,5].
On average, frequently ill children account for up to 70-85% of all cases of respiratory diseases in pediatric patients [2,4]. Research in recent years has provided evidence that bronchopulmonary diseases often develop against the background of disruption of the normal functioning of the immune system, and in some cases, immunodeficiency states - primary and secondary [3].
In modern literature there is no systematic information about the relationship between clinical and immunological characteristics in “frequently ill children” with acute obstructive bronchitis [2,3]. In this regard, it seems relevant to study the clinical and immunological features of acute obstructive bronchitis in children to improve diagnostic and therapeutic measures, which was the purpose of this study [4].
