[Immunity in children with acquired scarred stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea]. / Pokazateli immuniteta u detei s priobretennym rubtsovym stenozom gortani i sheinogo otdela trakhei.

Humoral immunity was studied in 63 children with acquired laryngotracheal stenosis 1 year 9 months to 14 years 8 months of age. The study discovered humoral immunity dysfunction which was most pronounced in patients who developed scary stenosis after critical care for acute stenotic laryngotracheobronchitis. It was found that if a child has allergy (atopy) in conduction of critical care requiring long-term nasotracheal intubation, he/she is at risk to develop scary stenosis.
