Recurrent respiratory infections present one of the most frequent health problems in paediatrics. The basic preventive approach in these

children is immunomodulation, eventually immunostimulation. Recently, there is besides bacterial lysates an increasing evidence for

the efficacy also of other naturally based immunomodulators. Important position in this group have beta-glucans – polysaccharides

isolated from fungi. Imunoglukan is one of the most important beta-glucans and its efficacy and safety is docummented and confirmed

in several clinical studies.

Keywords: biologically active polysaccharides, child, imunoglukan, immunomodulation, recurrent respiratory infections
