Keywords: secondary immunodeficiency states, diagnosis, treatment, phytoimmunomodulators. Topicality. Secondary immunodeficiency states (SIS) is a fairly common phenomenon in the clinic of internal medicine as an “addition” for many diseases, which has no clear clinical signs, so it is not often diagnosed by primary care physicians. However, untimely detection and correction of SI significantly worsens the overall results of treatment and contributes to recurrence of the underlying disease.There is a prospect of further increase in the prevalence of SI, the success of correction of underlying desease due to doctors’ understanding of their clinical and pathogenetic features and knowledge of treatment strategies and tactics, including the use of phytotherapeutic agents. The aim is to highlight modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of SI with the use of phytotherapeutic agents. Materials and methods. Materials of the main domestic and foreign printed sources of information using methods of comparison, analysis and generalization are used. Results. Information on the classification, diagnosis, strategy and tactics of treatment and prevention of SIS depending on their severity with the use of various phytotherapeutic agents, criteria for treatment effectiveness, age and somatic aspects of rehabilitation at the outpatient stage are analyzed. The importance of timely diagnosis of secondary immunodeficiency and the use of phytotherapeutic agents in the context of the “WHO Strategy in the field of folk medicine for 2014-2023” as the latest and most effective approach in the treatment of complex pathological phenomena.

Low Serum

It is questionable as to whether a low serum concentration of one of the IgG subclasses identifies a disease state. A low IgG1 concentration is found in primary or secondary immunodeficiency states but does not occur in isolation. Low IgG2 concentration is associated with an increased risk of bacterial infections but only in some individuals and not in others. Isolated IgG3 and IgG4 deficiency have not been convincingly demonstrated. Therefore, the isolated finding of low concentrations of one or more IgG subclass does not identify individuals at risk. In contrast, the finding of low serum concentrations of antibodies to specific bacterial antigens ( Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcus, tetanus and diphtheria) does identify individuals at risk and these measurements should be used in preference to IgG subclass measurement.
