COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COLONIZING MICROFLORA OF OROPHARYNX IN CHILDREN WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

The colonizing composition of microflora in children with certain diseases has a genetically determined dependence. The aim of the study was to give qualitative and quantitative characteristics of microflora of oropharynx biotope in children with bronchial asthma and acute respiratory infection. 15 children with bronchial asthma in the period of exacerbation of mild and moderate forms and 11 patients with acute respiratory infection aged 9 to 17 years, which took in-patient treatment, were studied. The prevalence of one or other microorganism in the group was determined by the frequency of its revealing with the use of constancy index C, and to assess fixation frequency incidence index Pi was used. According to incidence index Pi for biotopes of oropharynx in children with acute respiratory infection and bronchial asthma only two types were constant and dominating ? staphylococci and α-hemolytic streptococci. The study groups had different composition of microorganisms. The variability of type composition in oropharynx biotope in patients with acute respiratory infection was 2-fold higher than the same biotope in patients with bronchial asthma.
