Clinical and Immunological Effects of Magnetostimulation in Children with Recurrent Infections of Respiratory Tracts

children with reucrrent infections of respiratory tracts were treated routinely (antiinfectively and antiinflammatory) and 20 of them additionally received magnetostimulation (10 daily expositions to homogenous low frequency magnetic field generated by Viofor JPS). They were tested clinically and immunologically before treatment, after the magnetostimulation and 6 moths later. The number and duration of infective episodes decreased significantly after magnetostimulation. In this subgroup the immunoregulatory functions of T lymphocytes improved and excessive proinflammatory immunogenic activity of monocytes decreased. The results indicate that homgenous low frequency magnetic field stimulates the thymic-dependent maturation of T lymphocytes improving defensive abilities of immune system.
