[Characteristics of cellular immunity in newborn infants with intestinal bacterial infection after administration of lysozyme].

Two comparable groups made up of 15 neonates with intestinal infections induced by opportunistic bacteria were under observation. The children of group 1 received lysozyme in a dose of 25 mg/kg a day for 7-10 days together with conventional therapy Lysozyme appeared to promote the reduction of the disease duration and the rise of the phagocytic reserves of peripheral blood neutrophils in the children examined.
