[Efficiency of antibiotics in children with acute respiratory infection complicated by pneumonia dependent on the acetylation type in the Far North regions].

Genetic polymorphism due to the activity of N-acetyltransferase (N-AT) is common in the majority of human populations. Consequently, persons with "slow" or "fast" acetylation phenotype should be identified.
