ABSTRACT

Microbiological and immunologic investigations of peripheric blood in 125 children were conducted. They determined a positive role of early correction with eubiotics (bifidum-lactobacterium) in children with congenital cleft lip and congenital cleft palate during 8-9 months before chiloplasty and uraniscoplasty. Using eubiotics results in normalization and restoration of the intestinal microflora, which leads to restoration of cellular and humoral immunity and to decreased rates of accompanying and postoperative complications.
