Abstract

Violation of the integrity of the main barrier of protection - the mucous membrane - leads to the development of its inflammation. Thus, at the moment it is quite convincingly established that fungi can be, and are, the main cause of inflammation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. This thesis does not remove the importance of viral and bacterial infection as the cause of inflammation. Any infectious agent encounters a powerful obstacle in the form of normal mucociliary transport. As long as mucociliary transport is functioning normally, the inflammatory agent has no opportunity to come into contact with cell receptors and cause disease. In this regard, any treatment must take into account the effect of the method or drug on mucociliary transport. Agents that damage mucociliary transport should not be used, and surgical methods should minimally damage the mucosa.
