INFLUENZA AND OTHER ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS: CURRENT PRINCIPLES AND TREATMENT PRACTICE

Abstract

In the Russian Federation, the incidence of influenza and other acute viral respiratory infections (ARVI) increases every year during the autumn-winter period. The most common ARVI are parainfluenza, adenoviral and respiratory-syncytial infection. The constant mutability of influenza viruses and emergence of new ARI pathogens are especially dangerous. Medications from various groups including interferon inducers, particularly Kagocel, are recommended for the treatment and prevention of influenza and ARVI.
