[Stimulation of the immune system in children].
The basic mechanisms of specific immune response in children to pathogens with characteristics of cells involved in the process were described. The characteristics of commonly used stimulators (thymus-derived peptides, bacterial lysates and ribosoms, glukans) and the mechanisms of action, target cells were shown. In general remarks the limitations of immunostimulation in children with recurrent infections with or without known immunodeficiency were stressed.
