Introduction. Acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) is the most common reason for visits to the physician by both children and adults.The aim of the study was to analyse the features of the course of ARVIs in patients with different immune status, to evaluate the effectiveness of standard therapy for these groups of patients, as well as the use of silver-based medicines in the combination therapy of patients.Materials and methods. For the period from July to September 2022, 26 children (Group 1) without immunodeficiency conditions and 26 immunocompromised children (Group 2) were identified, all of them had symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections. In Group 1, 69.2% of children (n = 18) were classified as frequently ill children with ARVI rate of more than 8 times per year, 38.4% (n = 10) had allergic rhinitis, 7.7% (n = 2) had a concomitant bronchial asthma. In Group 2, the distribution of underlying immunocompromised disease was as follows: primary immunodeficiency – 7.7% (n = 2), Hurler syndrome after bone marrow transplantation – 11.5% (n = 3), acute lymphoblastic leukemia during specific therapy – 26.9% (n = 7), with graft versus host disease – 30.7% (n = 8) and currently in remission – 23% (n = 6). Among patients in this Group, only 7.7% of children (n = 2) had a history of allergic rhinitis.Results. The criterion for recovery in Group 1 was reversal of all clinical symptoms, in Group 2 – clinical improvement, normalization or significant decrease in C-reactive protein levels, improvement of paranasal sinuses pneumatization.Conclusion. During ARVI, post-viral rhinosinusitis often occurs, the ability of the mucosa to regenerate becomes disturbed, which makes it more vulnerable to adhesion of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In this case, especially effective is the intranasal use of a silver-based medicine to form a protective protein film on the injured mucosa. The use of silver-based medicines in the combination therapy of patients with inflammatory pathologies of the nose, nasopharynx and paranasal sinuses can greatly increase the effectiveness of treatment, while shortening the duration of therapy and being safe.
