Treatment methods and outcomes have been analyzed for 313 children aged 9 months-14 years with respiratory papillomatosis (RP) admitted to ENT clinic in 1950-1995. Beginning from 1982 papillomas were removed by means of ultrasonic disintegration. A novel approach included extracorporeal detoxication and immunocorrection. 85% of patients responded to treatment with discrete plasmapheresis and T-activin. It is concluded that best treatment results were achieved in combination of conventional methods with advanced modalities such as extracorporeal detoxication and immunocorrection.
