Dynamics of free-radical oxidation in suppurative otitis media

: The dynamics of indicators of free-radical oxidation in various purulent-inflammatory diseases of the middle ear in 280 patients was studied. Significant violations of the processes of free radical oxidation in the serum of blood were taken for the patients, the degree of which depends entirely on the severity and nature of the inflammation. A complex treatment with the use of antioxidant therapy in 280 patients was carried out. Positive results were obtained, confirmed by clinical and laboratory indicators. The pathogenetic significance and dependence of the course of purulent-inflammatory diseases of the middle ear on the processes of free radical oxidation was established, which was reflected in the determination of the duration of treatment of various forms of both acute and chronic otitis media.
