Abstract:
Pneumonia is the most common type of post-stroke infection, with an incidence of up to 57%, and is independently associated with poor outcome after stroke. Ozone is a harmless therapy working for anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress and improving oxygenation through various molecular ways, which may be a potential therapy for post-stroke pneumonia.
