[New generation of drugs for prevention of viral infections].

Drugs that recently (last 2-3 years) have been widely used for prevention of the most prevalent and still imperfectly controlled viral infections. Special attention was attended to use of interferons and other nonspecific cytokines as main factors of innate immunity as well as to new inducers of endogenous interferon (kagocel, allokyn). Conclusion was made that under the conditions of availabilityof wide spectrum of antiviral drugs, their clinical effectiveness is determined by scientifically founded algorithm of their use.
