[Bicillin in a complex scheme for the active prophylaxis of exacerbations and the progression of chronic bronchopulmonary diseases in children].

A complex scheme of prophylaxis of exacerbation and progression of chronic bronchopulmonary diseases in children was developed. It included the use of bicillin, stimulating therapy, desensibilizing drugs, vitamins, proteolytic enzymes, physiotherapy, physical excercises, massage, sanation of the chronic infection foci and interferone administration during influenza. 466 patients were subjected to the active prophylaxis for a period of 1-3 years. No exacerbation of progressing of chronic pneumonia was observed in 81.3 per cent of the children subjected to bicillin prophylaxis for 3 years. The number of the bronchial asthma attacks in the group of the patients with the infectious allergic form of bronchial asthma decreased 3-4 times per year under the effect of complex prophylactic therapy, the attacks became shorter and their elimanation with broncholitics was easier.
