Acute respiratory infections (ARVI) constitute a group of infectious diseases of viral etiology characterized by lesions of the respiratory tract, predominantly its upper parts, and common clinical symptoms. The successes achieved in the field of infectious pathology contributed to the development and improvement of the methods for the prevention and treatment of the disease; however, ARVI remain a serious public health problem in most countries of the world because of extremely high incidence levels, usually occurring as seasonal epidemics.
