Abstract

The article discusses the issues of the protective mechanisms of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract: mucociliary clearance, production of protective proteins and the mucosal immunity system. The data on the significance and relationship of lymphoid structures associated with mucous membranes of various anatomical localization are presented. The mechanisms of action of topical bacterial lysates are considered, their effectiveness in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases and their complications is described.
