OZONOTHERAPY EFFICIENCY IN CHILDREN WITH ATOPIC DERMATITIS AND ASSOCIATED ALLERGIC RHINITIS

Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical, immunomodulating and antirelapsing effects of ozonotherapy in children of preschool and primary school age suffering from atopic dermatitis associated with allergic rhinitis. Materials and methods. Sixty children aged 5-10, who suffered from disseminated moderate atopic dermatitis associated with persisting moderate allergic rhinitis, were under observation. They were divided into 2 groups depending on the conducted therapy. Group 1 ( n = 30) received complex generally accepted therapy, group 2 ( n = 30) - complex therapy combined with ozonotherapy. Patients suffering from atopic dermatitis associated with allergic rhinitis experienced studying of general clinical analyses and immunological reactivity indices. Results. Patients with atopic dermatitis and associated allergic rhinitis, who received complex therapy combined with ozonotherapy, as compared with patients receiving complex generally accepted therapy had longer clinical remission and normalized parameters of immunological reactivity. Conclusions. The results obtained while carrying out our own clinical observations prove high clinical, immunomodulating and antirelapsing effects of patients' complex management combined with ozonotherapy.
