[Extremely high frequency therapy for the prevention of acute respiratory diseases in children with chronic ENT and allergic diseases].

Extremely high frequency (EHF) therapy (42.19 +/- 0.10 GHz; 5.6 mm) is an efficacious method for the prevention of acute respiratory diseases (ARD) in frequently ill children presenting with chronic ENT diseases (chronic tonsillitis, chronic sinusitis) and allergic reactions (allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis). It helped to reduce ARD morbidity, duration of a single ARD episode, and frequency of bacterial complications per one child during the 6 and 12 month-long observation periods in comparison with the patients of the placebo group. It is believed that prophylactic effect of EHF therapy in frequently ill children is due to positive effect of extremely high frequency electromagnetic radiation on the adaptive capacity of the organism, improvement of both cellular and humoral immunity, correction of the initial vegetative tone and vegetative dysfunction.
