Evaluation of non specific body resistance of children with eye disorder and flatfoot

Abstract

Aim. To study the correlation between the value of nonspecific resistance of the organism (NRO) and the rate of visual organ pathology as well as the prevalence of platypodia among pupils.
 Materials and methods. The study included 108 pupils aged 10–12 years, residents of Perm (46 boys and 62 girls). To realize the stated targets, there were used immunological, clinical and statistical methods. Nonspecific resistance of the organism was assessed by the antibody titer (AT) value in the saliva. From the total number of the examined patients, the visual organpathology was detected in 15 persons, platypodia – in 9. NRO value in children was evaluated using the developed by the authors express-method, based on the determination of humoral factors of immunity in the saliva – the antibody titer in passive hemagglutination reaction (PHGR) to Shigella sonnei by means of commercial antigen erythrocyte diagnosticum.
 Results. It was established that NRO influences the possibility of developing both: visual organ pathology and platypodia in the examined patients.
 Conclusion. The obtained results of the study permit to recommend the method of human adolescent NRO assessment, which was worked out by us.
