The effect of PADMA 28 on spontaneous bactericidal activity (SBA) of blood serum was tested in 19 children suffering from recurrent infections of the respiratory tract (RIRT). SBA was tested against three bacterial strains; Salmonella typhimurium 568, and Escherichia coli strains 044 and 055. A considerable increase (bactericidal index <2) of SBA was noted in 12 children (63.1%). In four children (21%) the increase of SBA was less pronounced (bactericidal index >2). In three children (15.7%) no effect of PADMA 28 on SBA of the serum was observed.
