Abstract
Diseases of the upper respiratory tract (URT) and ENT organs are the leading causes of morbidity worldwide; the incidence of respiratory diseases in adults is 27.6%, in adolescents - 39.9% and in children - 61% [1], thus making the problem a matter of undying interest in practical healthcare. In the total structure of morbidity in Moscow, the diseases account for nearly 19% and rank second in the total list of nosologies [2]. In most cases, the infection process involves the upper and lower sections of the URT simultaneously or consecutively, though in some cases specific areas of the respiratory tract are targeted. URT infections primarily include those located in the anatomical structures above the larynx (pharynx).
