The impact of biologically active additives on the indices of immune status of sickly children

Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess therapeutic efficacy, tolerance and safety of biologically active additives. This biologically active additives was used as an immunostimulant in complex treatment for acute respiratory diseases in 86 children at the age from 6 to 14 years, who suffer frequently and durably against the background with concomitant infectious and physical abnormality. The aim of the research identifying pharmacotherapeutic efficiency and safety of biologically active additives "Baikal-5". Biologically active additives "Baikal-5" is expectorant, consists of the following species of plants, grass thyme, grass violet fragrant, fruits dill fragrant, rhizomes and roots of elecampane, licorice root. We used reactions indirect immunofluorescence with the panel of monoclonal antibodies with the definition of parameters of cellular link of immunity: relative and absolute indicators of the total number of lymphocytes as well as the population the composition of the peripheral blood lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ cells).
