[The use of hypoxic stimulation in chronic and relapsing bronchitis in young children ].

Abstract

214 children of different age with various forms of bronchitis were subject to immunological and biochemical examination. Against a background of hypoxic state of patients the values of quantitative indices of cellular immunity (E-RFC, blast-transformation reaction with phytohemagglutination) were revealed to decrease and dysimmunoglobulinemia-to form. It is shown that in the period of exacerbation of clinical symptoms of bronchitis the concentration of malonic dialdehyde and resistance of erythrocyte membranes to peroxide hemolysis significantly increase. Analysis of peroxidation level against a background of improvement of clinical indices after the performed treatment indicates that there is no tendency to normalization of metabolic disorders. The above results show that it is necessary to carry out normobaric hypoxic stimulation aimed at treating and preventing bronchitis in children of early age.
