ABSTRACT:
Dimerized lysozyme is used prophylactically or as a treatment for diseases associated with Tumor Necrosis Factor. Administration of the dimerized lysozyme by mouth, injection, an impregnated tampon, an antiseptive dressing, a gel or an ointment results in lowered Tumor Necrosis Factor concentrations. Therapy proved to be effective and very simple in the treatment of diseases which have a multi-factor etiology and pathogenesis.
