[The treatment of salmonellosis in children]

The time course of salmonellosis and some immunity indices (composition of serum immunoglobulins A, M and G, phagocytosis and activity of bactericidal substances of peripheral blood neutrophils) were studied in 80 infants. According to the applied therapy the infants were divided into 2 groups. 40 infants of group 1 were subjected to the routine therapy with gentamicin and tobramycin and 40 patients of group 2 were additionally treated with an immunostimulant (humisol). In the patients of group 2 treated with the antibiotics and humisol the disease time course was more favourable, the time required for the treatment was shorter and the hemograms and immunity indices earlier came to the normal.
