[The immunocorrective effect of laser reflexotherapy in experimental influenza infection]

The influence of two schemes of laser acupuncture on some cell-mediated and humoral immunity characteristics of mice, as well as on their nonspecific antiviral resistance, in acute experimental influenza infection has been studied. The use of both schemes has been found to considerably decrease the severity of infection, enhancing the activity of lymphocytes of infected mice in the graft versus host reaction, the O2-producing activity of alveolar macrophages and modulating the ratio of antihemagglutinins and nonspecific antiviral inhibitors in the blood serum.
