Objective:
The aim: Evaluate the expediency of using different methods of treatment for patients with acute purulent-odontogenic inflammatory processes in both the main and control groups. This assessment will be based on various indicators of non-specific immunity.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: This study involved the evaluation of the humoral component of nonspecific immunity in 114 patients. We assessed changes in total protein and its fractions, C-reactive protein (CRP), lysozyme, and immunoglobulins (A, M, and G) during three distinct time intervals: 1-3 days, 5-7 days, and 8-14 days after treatment initiation. Statistical analysis was conducted using Statistica 10.0 (StatSoft, Inc., USA) and Microsoft Office Excel 2010.
Results:
Results: At different postoperative follow-up periods, a significant improvement in humoral nonspecific immunity indicators (p>0.05) was observed when comparing patients treated with and without platelet-rich plasma. This improvement is expected to enhance reparative processes and expedite recovery.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The incorporation of platelet-rich plasma, immunocorrective, and adaptogenic therapy into the comprehensive treatment of acute purulent odontogenic inflammatory processes in the maxillofacial region not only leads to pronounced and enduring positive outcomes but also results in substantial improvements, including the potential normalization of key humoral and cellular factors associated with innate immunity.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
Tonsillitis II: Management
Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
