of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The aim of the immunostimulation is to increase the functions of innate and specific

immunity and to enhance patient´s immune response. Immunostimulating therapy is based on the use of different immunostimulating

agents. This therapy has some risks but it is possible to prevent them.
