[Clinical efficacy of reamberine in therapy for influenza].

Aim: To evaluate the tolerance and therapeutic effectiveness of 1.5% reamberine (RB) solution infusions in complex therapy for pneumonia-complicated pneumonia and acute respiratory diseases (ARD).

[Photochemotherapy in the treatment of acute pneumonias].

The application of photochemotherapy in acute pneumonia is based on pneumonia pathogenesis and the mechanism of ALIB- (autotransfusion of laser irradiated blood) and AUVBI- (autotransfusion of ultraviolet blood irradiation) techniques. The ALIB is preferable since the technique requires no device sterilization. The complex treatment of acute pneumonia with ALIB and AUVBI was found to enhance therapeutic efficacy, to decrease the severity of the disease course, to reduce its duration and hospital stay in inpatients.
