[Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of antiviral therapy of children with infectious mononucleosis].

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.
