USE OF OZONOTHERAPY FOR CORRECTION OF IMMUNE DISTURBANCES IN CHILDREN WITH PERSISTING ALLERGIC RHINITIS

Aim. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of ozonotherapy on the clinical indices and status of immunological reactivity in children with persisting allergic rhinitis. Materials and methods. Sixty children aged 5-10 years, suffering from persisting allergic rhinitis of moderate severity, were divided into two groups depending on the conducted therapy and observed. Group 1 ( n = 30) received complex generally accepted therapy, group 2 ( n = 30) - complex treatment combined with ozonotherapy. Clinical indices and parameters of immunological reactivity were studied in patients with allergic rhinitis. Results. Patients with allergic rhinitis, who received complex treatment combined with ozonotherapy compared to patients, who received complex generally accepted therapy alone, experienced faster onset of long clinical remission and normalization of most parameters of immunological reactivity.
