Targeted bioflavonoids and polyphenols in the rehabilitation program for community-acquired pneumonia: a cases report

Background : Community-acquired pneumonia is one of the socially and epidemiologically significant problems since it often becomes chronic. rehabilitation after pneumonia is long and requires an individual approach to each patient. administration of bioflavonoids with multitarget activity is promising for the rehabilitation of such patients. Aim : to evaluate the clinical effect of targeted bioflavonoids and polyphenols in the phytoformula Valeonix on the rehabilitation of patients who have had community-acquired pneumonia. Methods : the patients’ condition was assessed using Ct data, results of physical examination, mMrC questionnaire, FaS fatigue scale, SF-36 quality of life questionnaire, 6-minute walk test results, biochemical blood test indicators and oxidative stress in the blood serum. Results : the article presents clinical descriptions of two cases of moderate community-acquired pneumonia and their treatment. In both cases, after completing the rehabilitation course, which included administration of a bioflavonoid complex, the patients’ respiratory function was restored, biochemical blood test parameters came back to normal, tolerance to physical activity increased, and antioxidant activity of the blood improved. Upon discharge, the patients were considered cured. Conclusion: Favorable treatment outcomes with a bioflavonoid complex warrant further investigation of this complex in a randomized controlled trial involving patients with community-acquired pneumonia.
