title: [Effectiveness of autotransfusion of ultraviolet ray irradiated blood in the rehabilitation of children with tonsillogenic lesions of the heart].
abstract: Clinical and immunological parameters of 77 children with tonsillogenic lesions of the heart were investigated. Taking into consideration the pathogenetic mechanisms of cardiovascular pathologies in children with chronic tonsillitis and their immunity changes, a method of autotransfusion of UV irradiated blood was developed and used for their therapy. Before and after tonsillectomy the patients underwent this autotransfusion in order to accelerate their rehabilitation. It was demonstrated that in patients whose treatment involved autotransfusion, cardiac symptoms disappeared and immunological parameters stabilized faster than in the children given routine treatment.
