[Immunological aspects of inflammation of the upper respiratory tract]
Abstract:
The objective of the present study was to elucidate the immunoimmunological characteristics of mucosal membranes of the upper respiratory tract. Specific adaptive mechanisms of local immunity in the mucosal membranes of the upper respiratory tract were shown to depend on both localization and severity of the pathological processes. This finding can be used as a basis for the choice of the strategy of immunomodulating therapy for the patients with chronic inflammation of mucosal membranes and the improvement of the modes of its application for the treatment of acute inflammation.
