Effects of intranasal Imunofan administration upon phagocytic activity in treatment of exudative otitis media in children

Exudative otitis  media  in  childhood is most  often  associated with  chronic inflammation in the  nasopharyngeal area,  with  immediate participation of phagocytic cells. Our  paper  presents  the  data  on evaluation of clinical  and immunological efficacy of intranasal Imunofan use included int...

No differences in severity  of clinical  symptoms were revealed  between  the  groups  of patients.
