Антибактериальная терапия хронических заболеваний легких у детей

Based on the clinical-and-microbiological studies carried out in children with chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases, the authors revealed the highest rates of isolating from the patients’ sputum of the following pathogenic microorganisms: Haemophilus influenzae (64% of the patients involved), Streptococcus pneumoniae (27%), and Branhamella (9%). The studies of the isolated microflora’s resistance to antibiotics are indicative of an increased sensitivity of Haemophilus influenzae to erythromycin up to 70%. In order to prevent the elevation in resistance of pathogenic microflora to antibiotics, parenteral administration of the appropriate drugs, combinations of antibiotics, as well as the use of maximal doses of the antibiotics concerned.
