[ENT problems in children with chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases].
Combined bronchological and otorhinolaryngological examinations with bacteriological tests were performed in 67 children with chronic nonspecific pulmonary disease (CNSPD) associated with ENT trouble. These patients comprised 69.6% of overall number of children with CNSPD treated by the authors. Bacteriological tests have shown almost absolute identity of microflora from chronic infection foci in the upper and lower airways. Coccal flora predominated, especially pmeumococcal and Streptococcus viridans. The response to treatment was observed both from the lower respiratory tracts and the ENT system. Both ENT and respiratory system benefited from the combined treatment which reduced frequency and duration of the exacerbations. Thus, combined therapy has proved more effective than pulmonological or otorhynolaryngological alone.
