[Efficacy of Ingavirin in the combined treatment of ARVI complicated by tonsillitis].

This paper was designed to report the results of an open randomized comparative study of therapeutic efficacy of Ingavirin used for the treatment of adult patients with acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) complicated by lacunar tonsillitis. The study has demonstrated that the combined application of an antibacterial agent and Ingavirin showing antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties produces a significantly more pronounced therapeutic effect compared with the standard treatment of the disease in question. This finding gives reason to recommend Ingavirin for the wide clinical application as an agent for combined therapy of acute respiratory viral infections.
