EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF IMMUNOMODULATORS APPLICATION IN PREVENTION OF COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH PERTUSSIS

Abstract

Pertussis is an urgent pediatric problem due to its frequency and severity in the first year of life. One of the most threatening complications of pertussis is pneumonia. In a parallel, non-randomized open-label study we have demonstrated clinical efficacy and safety of immunomodulators for the prophylaxis of bacterial complications of pertussis.
