Gn. Mikheeva et Rm. Khaitov, CURRENT ASPECTS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ATOPIC DISEASES COMPLICATED BY SECONDARY IMMUNODEFICIENCY, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 70(4), 1998, pp. 54-60
Aim, The study of clinicoimmunological features of current course of a
topic diseases (AD) and design of effective etiopathogenic scheme of t
reating AD complicated by secondary immunodeficiency (SID). Materials
and methods. After comprehensive clinical, instrumental, x-ray, functi
onal and bacteriological investigations 186 AD patients were divided i
nto 4 groups: 25 patients untreated by immunomodulators (controls), 35
patients treated by diuciphone (200 g i.m, each other day for 12 days
), 83 patients treated by polyoxidonium (6 mg i.m. each other day for
12 days, a fetal course dose 30 mg, or 6 mg i.m. daily for 2 days then
6 mg each other day for 3 days then 6 mg twice a week for 14 days, a
course close 45 mg), 33 patients received likopid (1 or 10 mg daily pe
r os for 10 days or 10 mg daily for 10 days then 2 mg twice a week for
14 days). Results, A scheme of combined 3-staged treatment of AD comp
licated by SID is suggested. Stage 1 - conventional treatment inhibiti
ng aggravation of atopic reaction, improving functional condition of t
he defense systems plus antiinfection therapy, immunomodulators. Stage
2 - primarily specific immunotherapy. Stage 3 - outpatient prophylaxi
s of immunodeficiency and resistant forms of atopic reactions. Conclus
ion, Combined staged pharmacological and immunological control of alle
rgic inflammation and immunodeficiency is the main principle of contro
l of AD with SID.
