Popis: Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of complex treatment in combination with ozone therapy in children with moderate atopic dermatitis and concomitant moderate persistent allergic rhinitis. Materials and methods. Under observation were children of preschool and primary school age with moderate atopic dermatitis and concomitant moderate persistent allergic rhinitis. In these children, we studied clinical indicators, the content of populations and subpopulations of lymphocytes in the blood, immunoglobulins and circulating immune complexes in the blood serum, phagocytosis indicators, expression of toll-like receptors on leukocytic cells. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the therapy. The first group received complex conventional therapy, the second group received complex treatment in combination with ozone therapy. Results. It was found that in the first group of patients during the period of clinical remission, changes in immunological reactivity persisted. In the second group of patients, a more rapid onset of clinical remission was recorded, during which normalization of most immunity parameters was noted. The duration of complete clinical remission in the second group of patients more than twofold exceeded its duration in the first group of patients. Conclusions. The inclusion of ozone therapy in complex treatment of preschool and primary school children suffering from moderate atopic dermatitis and concomitant moderate persistent allergic rhinitis provides a more rapid onset of clinical remission. During the period of clinical remission, normalization of most immunity parameters, a pronounced increase in the expression of toll-like receptors-2 and toll-like receptors-6 on lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils are recorded. This indicates an increase in nonspecific antibacterial resistance. Conducting a repeated course of complex treatment in combination with ozone therapy ensures the preservation of complete clinical remission, the duration of which is twice as long as in the first group. High therapeutic effect of ozone, the availability of ozone therapy, the absence of complications and adverse reactions when using complex treatment in combination with ozone therapy allow us to recommend the widespread use of this method in children of preschool and primary school age suffering from moderate atopic dermatitis and concomitant moderate persistent allergic rhinitis.
