Overview

Background.
Number of patients treated by general practitioners with various immunomodulatory drugs hasrecently increased. Effects of such medication on the immune system were not usually monitored. The aim of ourwork was to evaluate effect of selected immunomodulatory drugs on the phagocytic and metabolic activities of thephagocytes.Methods and Results. 51 patients (18 males and 33 females) of the average age 36 years with repeating respiratory,mycotic and herpetic infections were investigated. Immunomodulatory treatment included: Decaris (Lavamizolum),Isoprinosine (Methisoprinolum), Imudon (Lysatum bacteriale mixtum), Biostim (Klebsiella pneumoniae), andImmodin (Leukocyti dialysati lyophylysatum). Before and after treatment all patients underwent basic immunologicalexamination IgG, IgA, IgM, C3, C4 complement components, PEG, CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD19). Phagocytoticactivity was estimated by means of FAGO MSHP test with HEMA particles and by chemiluminiscence test.Chemiluminiscence was measured using ML 3000 Microtiter Plate Luminometer (Dynex). 26 healthy individualsof the corresponding age were the controls. Results were statistically evaluated by Student’s t-test. Significantincrease of the cellular metabolic activity was found in Decaris and Immodin treated patients (P
