title: [Contemporary status of the issues in the treatment of children with respiratory papillomatosis].
abstract: For 15 years the authors treated 205 children aged 9 months to 15 years with respiratory papillomatosis. Besides surgical endolaryngeal removal of the papillomas, they applied immunomodulators, plasmapheresis and antiviral drugs. Of different methods of artificial lung ventilation, the best is thought to be transcatheter high-frequency artificial lung ventilation. As shown by the studies of infection resistance, the combined treatment should incorporate such drugs as zovirax and leukomax. Ultrasound disintegration and laser photodestruction with Ho laser were introduced in surgical removal of the papillomas. The combined treatment shortens the treatment duration and prolongs recurrence-free period.
