Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers examined 75 patients with medium-gravity viral hepatitis B to assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on disease progression and blood leukocyte reactions.

What They Found

Researchers found that hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) administered during the first week of hospitalization favorably impacted 75 patients with viral hepatitis B, significantly reducing exacerbations and residual phenomena. HBO treatment led to a decrease in T and B lymphocytes by the 10th session and increased leukocyte functional metabolic activity. However, HBO used in weeks 4-5 showed no distinct clinical benefit.
