Ozonoterapiya zatyanuvshikhsya pnevmoniy

Abstract

After 3 weeks of treatment, 36 patients who were found to have X-ray signs of pneumonia (pulmonary infiltrative changes, fever, productive cough, weakness) were randomized into two equal groups (a study group and a control one). Antibacterial therapy was changed and continued by 77.7 and 55% of control and study group patients, respectively. The study group patients were additionally given intravenous infusions of 400 ml of ozonized sodium chloride solution (pO3) containing 1.6 мg/ ml of O3 twice weakly for 21 days. Blood ozonization considerably accelerated the resolution time of X-ray infiltrative changes so that they were undetectable in all the study group patients by week 4 while they were only in 61.1% of the control groups. Blood ozonization used in combination with antibiotics permitted achievement of a sputum negative reaction against Chlamydia and Mycoplasma 2-3 weeks earlier. Infusions of pO3 just after the first ozonization made it possible to eliminate a clinical sign of chronic infection, such as weakness, to accelerate productive cough relief by 10 days, and to halve the number of fever patients at week 2, as compared with the controls. Ozone therapy for protracted pneumonias substantially enhances the efficiency of antibiotic treatment.
