Prospects for the use of bacterial lysates in the complex therapy of chronic adenoiditis

Abstract

Introduction. Adenotomy is a common surgical procedure in childhood. In children with recurrent infections of the respiratory tract, hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, a sign of lymphoproliferative syndrome of a secondary immunodeficiency state, is characterized by reduced adaptive abilities of mucosal immunity with impaired biocenosis in chronic inflammation. Pharyngeal tonsil surgery is considered stressful in frequently ill children and therefore requires preoperative preparation. In this context, it is relevant to study the nature of changes in the factors of mucosal immunity in terms of cell destruction in the nasal secretion in the complex treatment of children with hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil and chronic adenoiditis, as prevention of complications in the postoperative period of adenotomy.Aim. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment of chronic adenoiditis in children with recurrent infections of the respiratory tract using the combined effect of low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation with monochromatic unpolarized light and bacterial lysates.Materials and methods. In order to test the hypothesis about the possibility of canceling adenotomy in 77 children aged 3-6 years with hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil, accompanied by chronic inflammation. The effectiveness of the complex treatment was assessed by the functional and metabolic status of nonspecific resistance factors in the nasal lavage.Results and discussion. The combined effect of low-frequency ultrasonic cavitation with photochromotherapy and bacterial lysates leads to the normalization of pathophysiological changes on the surface of the mucous membrane, leading to a balance of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the functional-metabolic status of NG, which makes it possible to postpone adenotomy. The best clinical result is observed when bacterial lysates are used in complex therapy in combination with physiotherapy in children with chronic adenoiditis and, to a certain extent, substantiate the advisability of a combined effect as a non-invasive and effective method.Conclusions. Topical bacteriolysate in a complex treatment regimen for children with recurrent infections of the respiratory tract against a background of chronic inflammation eliminates bacterial antigens and enhances the intrinsic defenses of the mucous membrane of the pharyngeal tonsil.
