Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was measured in 84 children with pyoinflammatory diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses (the study group) against 50 healthy subjects (the control group). LPO in the two groups was found different (the difference was statistically significant). Defects in LPO entail homeostatic disorders and indirectly cause impairment of oxidation-reduction processes. The efficacy of the conventional therapeutic measures can be improved by addition to the standard combined treatment of metabolic correctors which noticeably reduce possibility of the acute process transformation into chronic. Recurrences become less probable.
