title: [A new method for the treatment of acute frontitis in the adult patients].
abstract: The objective of the study is to estimate the efficacy of Bioparox (fusafungine) when used for the treatment of the adult patients presenting with acute frontitis. Twenty two of the 45 patients with this condition were given adjuvant therapy using this preparation. It resulted in a decrease of the concentration of Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis to 10 CFU/ml and 500 CFU/ml respectively. S. haemoliticus was completely eradicated. The concentrations of these microorganisms in patients of the control group were higher. The level of interleukin 1-beta in the secretion within 5 days after the onset of therapy was twice lower than in the patients of control group. The concentration of IL 1-beta in the serum of the treated with Bioparox patients was 4 pg/ml compared with 8 pg/ml in the control group. The efficacy of therapy of acute frontitis with fusafungine was confirmed in the X-ray study. It is concluded that the use of Bioparox for the management of acute frontitis increases the efficacy of the treatment and result in the marked improvement of the patients' condition within 5 days after the onset of therapy.
