FUSAFUNGIN EFFICACY IN ACUTE RHINOSINUSITIS TREATMENT IN CHILDREN

Presented results of treatment efficacy research for topical fusafungin in patient with acute rhinosinusitis. 70 patients with acute rhinosinusitis aged 3 to 17 years were included into the study. All patients had been treated with fusafungin aerozole for 10 days. The results show that fusafungin is effective as a part of complex therapeutic schemes for treating subchronic rhinorhinosinusitis after adenotomy as well as in patients with rhinosinusitis and 1–2 stage adenoids. Patients with rhinosinusitis against the background of chronic adenoiditis had positive dynamics later on probably due to protracted inflammation and failure of a normal nasal drainage.Key words: rhinosinutitides, fusafungin, children.
