The catarrhal respiratory syndrome with obstruction of upper air passages in children under mycoplasmainfection
The article considers the results of examination of 78 patients aged from 1 to 7 years with catarrhal respiratory syndrome and obstruction of upper air passages. The markers of antigens and specific immunoglobulins of A, M, G classes to agents of opportunistic infections (mycoplasmosis, pneumocystosis, clamidiosis and herpetic infections of I, II, IV and VI serotypes) are studied. The role of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is established in etiology of disease (24.3% of patients). Other agents-opportunists (21.8% of patients). The main clinical manifestation of mycoplasmosis in all children was laryngotracheitis (63.2%) and rhinitis (63.2%). The lingering symptomatic of disease continued in patients with mycoplasmosis and accompanied by prolonged antigenemia, earlier disappearance of immune response, shifts in content of obligate microbiota of mucous membrane of oropharynx and intestine, inhibition of phagocytic activity of neutrophils and significant decrease of sIgA concentration.
