Features of Intestinal Microbiocenosis in Viral Hepatitis and Possibilities of Its Correction
Journal Title: Актуальна інфектологія - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The article deals with the correction of intestinal microbiocenosis in patients with viral hepatitis. There is presented a study on the state of the intestinal microflora in children who had hepatitis A virus (HAV), patients with chronic viral hepatitis B or C (HBV, HCV). Materials and Methods. The study involved 39 children: 12 persons who had HAV, 19 persons with chronic HCV, 8 persons with chronic HBV infection. All the children were randomized into two groups. The first group included 18 children who, along with basic therapy, received probiotic agent Subalin, the second group — 21 people who received only basic therapy. Results and Discussion. Inclusion in the complex treatment of probiotic agent Subalin allowed to stop such clinical symptoms as asthenovegetative syndrome, chronic intoxication syndrome, to reduce dyspeptic syndrome and hepatomegaly, as well as to restore intestinal microflora and to eliminate pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. We noted high tolerability of Subalin and no side effects. Conclusions. Application of Subalin in the complex therapy of children with viral hepatitis eliminates intoxication syndrome and contributes to the rapid regression of clinical symptoms, the recovery of the intestinal microflora, normalizes the immune status.
