Interferon alfa-2b/Taurine/Benzocaine

A group of 126 children (4 to 7 years old) with infectious mononucleosis received basic therapy in combination with nonspecific antiviral drugs. The same therapeutic efficiency was observed for cycloferon and genferon light included in complex treatment of infectious mononucleosis in children. The use of cycloferon (10 mg/kg i.m., single daily injection for 10 days) prevents the development of frequent acute respiratory viral infections in the period of convalescence.

The combination of two immunomodulating agents (genferon derived from exogenous IFN-alpha2b and cycloferon, endogenous IFN inductor) was added to the complex therapy of 60 patients with different cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (CBCC) immunophenotypes. All patients underwent tumor resection, 1-3 days after surgery the patients received immunotropic therapy by focal cycloferon injections (2 ml of 12.5% solution) on days 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 post-operation with simultaneous genferon therapy via suppositoria (1 000 000 ME) twice a day for 10 days. The therapy was well-tolerated. Essential parameters of immune homeostasis were evaluated before and 3 months after immunotropic therapy. During further observation (for a mean period of 1.8 years) none of the patients displayed any signs of CBCC relapse. The immunological studies results give evidence for correction of immune disturbances characteristic for CBCC patients. This data confirm the effectiveness of immunotropic therapy for relapse prevention and immune disorders correction and allow recommending it for CBCC patients with high relapse risk.
