IMMUNOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE DIAGNOSIS OF ATROPHIC PHARYNGITIS IN CHILDREN
Abstract
Atrophic pharyngitis in children is a common disease characterized by inflammation and atrophy of the pharyngeal mucosa. The immunological aspects of diagnosing this condition play an important role in determining the severity of the disease, predicting its course and choosing the optimal treatment strategy. The purpose of this review is to highlight the immunological aspects of the diagnosis of atrophic pharyngitis in children in order to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of development and progression of this disease. Key aspects include changes in the levels of immunoglobulins, inflammatory cytokines, immunocompetent cells and their role in maintaining pharyngeal health. The development prospects include more accurate biomarkers, individualized treatment approaches, and integration with other areas of medicine. With the development of molecular diagnostic methods and medical data processing technologies, it becomes possible to create personalized treatment regimens that take into account the individual characteristics of the patient. This makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of therapy and reduce the risk of undesirable side effects. Biomarkers are key tools for the diagnosis, prediction and monitoring of various diseases. Modern technologies such as genomic sequencing and metabolomics make it possible to identify new biomarkers, which contributes to earlier detection of diseases and accurate determination of their characteristics.
