ABSTRACT
The results of the study of the parameters of the immune system in persons suffering from frequent infections, bacteriocarriers and persons with nonspecific infections are presented. The study revealed that T-cell deficiency of the 2nd and 3rd degrees could be regarded as the universal marker of decreased immune reactiveness. Sodium nucleinate was found to be capable of stimulating the T-cell element of immunity and antibody formation, which made it possible to achieve a considerable decrease in morbidity rate. Sodium nucleinate was shown to be highly effective in the prophylaxis of acute respiratory viral infections, carrier state and in the sanitation of purulent foci of infection.

The experience gained in the organization of a day hospital for 100 beds on the basis of a health centre of a city children's polyclinic is presented. A new organizational form has become possible due to adequate fittings with diagnostic equipment and medicaments. 1258 children were treated in the day hospital for 3 years. Thus it became possible to improve servicing of the children registered for medical supervision and to decrease the number of acute conditions by 2.5. Both parents and children approved of the feasibility of treatment in day hospitals.
