Mudrák J, Bohák L, Šehová I. Adjuvant therapy with hydrolytic enzymes in recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. Acta Otolaryngol (Stockh) 1997; Suppl 527: 128-130.

The subject of this study is systemic enzymotherapy as adjuvant treatment in recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. The authors analyze their observations of 5 adult patients with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis when after surgical extirpation and subsequent application of peroral proteases there was a significant improvement of their clinical state and laboratory results. The patients have been disease-free from 10 to 18 months. In the authors' experience, the adjuvant enzymotherapy seems to be a suitable replacement of the supplementary treatment in larynx papillomatosis, and it proinises to decrease the recurrence rate as well.

Key Words:

• recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis
