Возможности использования назальных форм интерферона в профилактике и лечении острых респираторных инфекций
Abstract
Interferons are cytokines that are produced by immunocompetent cells in response to the invasion of an infectious factor. The most important biological effect of interferons used in clinical practice is their ability to nonspecifically inhibit viral replication. This article summarizes the functions of interferons in the implementation of the functions of innate and acquired immunity. The possibilities of using intranasal interferons for the treatment and prevention of the most common viral diseases in children, in particular acute respiratory viral infections, SARS and SARS-CoV-2, are considered.
