High efficacy of prodigiozan, a bacterial polysaccharide used in the form of inhalation in combined therapy of 123 children at the age of 3 to 14 with nonspecific bronchopulmonary pathologic conditions was shown. The drug was administered by means of inhalators UI-I and PAI-I once every 4--5 days in the form of 0.02 per cent solution prepared in situ. The single and the course doses were 100--400 and 300--2000 micrograms respectively. The positive therapeutic effect was observed in 85.0 per cent of the patients: improvement of the patient state was registered 4--6 days earlier than that in the control group, the indices of the respiration mechanics and nonspecific immunity (titers of lysozyme and complement) also improved. The rate of viral respiratory diseases among the children treated with prodigiozan decreased 2.5 times. High efficacy and physiological character of the aerosol method for administration of prodigiozan used the the first time in pediatry provided its recommendation for wide use.
