Abstract

The authors of the article analyze clinical observations of 240 patients with respiratory papillomatosis (aged 7 months to 56 years), treated in the ETN clinic of Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute in 1984-2003 using endolaringeal microsurgical techniques, such as ultrasound desintegration and laser photodestruction of papillomas. Additional therapy included immunocorrection with T-activin and leukomax, discrete plasmopheresis, antiviral therapy with zovirax, and photodynamic therapy. Having compared various methods and their combinations, the authors conclude that "clinical recovery" (no relapses within more than 2.5 years), was achieved in 41.4 +/- 0.5% - 77.8 +/- 0.2% patients.
