Immunomodulation

Immunomodulation is a common term used among physicians and pharmacists. New knowledge is being discovered, and at the same time new products, which represent new possibilities for patients with relapsing or chronic infections with expected insufficient function of immunity system in background, are being introduced into the market.

Immunomodulation can have two types of effects:

• Immunostimulation that is activation of immunity system
• Immunosuppression that is an effort to inhibit immunity system (for example at autoimmunity diseases and after transplantation of organs)
  
  

Immunostimulation or immunonormalization can be part of prevention, as well as therapy of individuals suffering with relapsing and chronic infections. Examination of the immunity system before the start of therapy is a condition for rational immunomodulation.
