Acute pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young children, especially in the first year of life. Thymic and lymphatic condition in children is an aggravating premorbid background in the occurrence of acute pneumonia and its prolonged and recurrent course. Currently, this condition is considered as immune-endocrine deficiency syndrome, which is quite common (up to 22%) in children under 3 years. Therefore, the search for new effective methods of treatment, increasing hormonal resistance, cellular and humoral immunity of the body, accelerating recovery and preventing the development of complications in acute pneumonia combined with thymic-lymphatic condition in young children is very relevant. In this regard, of particular interest is Thymalin, a new preparation of polypeptide nature isolated from the thymus of calves.
