term. Next, he focuses on the definition and basic principles of treatment of recurrent respiratory infections for which immunomodulation

therapy is most commonly used in paediatric clinical practice. Immunomodulators of bacterial origin are dealt with in detail. The author

characterizes the composition and route of administration of medications currently available in the market in the Czech Republic, describes

new developments in understanding the mechanism of their action and comments on some specific situations related to their use – antibiotic

therapy, routine vaccination of children or the risk of autoimmune diseases.
