Description
Summary:Insufficient control of many infectious diseases using etiotropic drugs determines the relevance of a search for alternative methods, in particular based on the modulation of the immune system. The review of recent literature analyzes rational approaches to the immunity dysfunction in frequently ill children. Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of immunomodulators reduces the frequency and severity of respiratory diseases and prevents complications. The article examines the advantages of the use of inosine pranobex that combines the properties of an immunomodulator and a direct antiviral activity. It is shown that inosine pranobex can be used for the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections in frequently ill children, and the rational schemes of its application are presented.
