Modern Directions of Prophylaxis of Community-Acquired Pneumonia Among Soldiers Undergoing Military Service on Conscription

Abstract

The problem of the incidence ofrespiratory diseases Is one of the most important not only for civil but also for military medicine. During the period from 2004 to 2013, more than fifty percent of servicemen's requests for medical assistance were associated with respiratory diseases. «Pneumo-23» and «Grippol» vaccines are currently used for the prevention of respiratory diseases; however there is no convincing data on the reduction of the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia, but there is a tendency to stabilize respiratory rates at a fairly high level.The conducted studies have shown the possibility of improving the epidemiological situation with community-acquired pneumonia among military personnel due to the use of cytoflavin, which leads to a reduction in the quantity and improvement of rheological properties of sputum, and maintenance of local immunity at the proper level. These effects of the drug reduce the duration of treatment and increase the rehabilitation potential of the patient, including the cases of community-acquired pneumonia.
