SCIENTIFIC REVIEWS Review article TOPICAL ISSUES OF MONITORING THE SAFETY OF DRUGS IN CIRCULATION IN THE ASTRAKHAN REGION (SCIENTIFIC REVIEW)
Respiratory diseases occupy a leading position among all diseases. The same trend was noted in pediatric practice, where their share is more than 60 %. At the same time, in the structure of morbidity, the following series can be built: chronic diseases of the tonsils and adenoids (3612,9 per 100000 child population), bronchial asthma (1189,4), acute pneumonia (814,3), chronic pharyngitis and nasopharyngitis (662,7), allergic rhinitis (448,8), chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema (204,3). In recent decades, there has been an increase in the prevalence of chronic bronchopulmonary pathology in children, including bronchial asthma, the frequency of which in children reaches 10%. The incidence of chronic bronchitis occupies a small share in the structure of respiratory pathology, however, in terms of the severity of the course and the risk of developing disability in children and unfavorable outcomes, it is very significant. In addition, attention is drawn to the fact that in our country mortality from respiratory diseases (respiratory viral infections,14 influenza, pneumonia) in children under 1 year of age is exceeded, more than 10 times compared to economically developed countries
