INFLUENCE OF ADAPTATION FOR PERIODIC HYPOBARIC HYPOXIC STIMULATION UPON CLINICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY IN THE CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

Abstract

Abstract. The study performed has shown a positive clinical and immunological dynamics in forty children with medium-stage atopic bronchial asthma in remission stage, after a course of adaptation for periodical hypobaric hypoxic stimulation. These changes were expressed as a reduction in IgE, circulating immune complexes, Interleukin-4, and rise in Interferon-γ and Interleukin-18 contents. A retrospective analysis has shown that a more stable positive clinical and immunologic effect is observed in the group of patients with relatively low IgE levels observed after hypobaric hypoxic stimulation.
