Indicators of Immune Status in Children with Respiratory Allergies Living in the Area of Environmental Distress

摘要

Respiratory diseases are an important problem in the structure of morbidity in children at an early age. Environmental factors, in particular air, soil and water pollution, are of great importance in the development of respiratory allergoses. Causes of respiratory allergies in children are very different and numerous. Environmental conditions play an important role in the occurrence of respiratory allergies. The spread of this pathology strictly depends on the environmental favourable conditions of the of the residence areas. Children from such areas are at risk groups. High frequency of respiratory infections in children is due to a variety of pneumotropic microflora, susceptibility of children to viral infections and weak immune system, peculiarities of maturation of the immune system of the child, immaturity of the thermoregulation system, as well as reduced resistance of the child's organism to changing climatic factors. Respiratory allergoses contribute to social maladjustment of the child due to the restriction of his communication with peers, potentially dangerous for the development of pedagogical problems (poor academic low grades, lagging behind educational programs), worsens the psychological microclimate in the family. The importance of early diagnosis and timely immunocorrecting therapy of respiratory allergoses in children and the identification of persistent violations in the system of local and systemic immunity is high.
