Peculiarities of restoring the parameters of the phagocytosis system in 58 children aged 5 days to 3 years with influenza were studied. A pronounced immunosuppressive effect of the influenza virus on the functional state of neutrophilic granulocytes and a slow recovery of their function, especially in the course of the disease in children of the first year of life, were revealed. A decrease in the phagocytic reserve during clinical recovery was combined with frequent recurrent illnesses in children, which can serve as one of the criteria for a high risk of forming a group of frequently ill children who have had influenza.
