  • Title: [Features of the course and treatment of progressive muscular dystrophy associated with chronic suppurative diseases].
    Author: Abdukhakimov FT, Islamov IB.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1980; 80(3):362-7. PubMed ID: 7395411.
    Abstract:
    A comparison of the clinical course of progressing muscular dystrophy with laboratory and electrophysiological findings has shown that combination of the dystrophy with chronic tonsillitis, purulent otitis, etc. aggravate the course of the underlying disease. The existing methods of therapy are ineffective: this has been established in 14 out of 33 observations. On these grounds the authors suggest that the principal methods of treating progressing muscular dystrophy should be supplemented with the use of antibiotics, desensitizers, detoxicants, salicylates, and means enhancing the body resistance. If the conservative therapy is of no effect tonsillectomy should be performed.
