Abstract
Background. In the modern literature, ways to increase the effectiveness of specific prevention of acute respiratory viral infections and pneumonia, including through the use of immunostimulants, are widely discussed.
The aim of the study was to determine the epidemiological effectiveness of using the three-component drug regimen: glutamine-tryptophan + bendazole + ascorbic acid in combination with influenza and pneumococcal vaccines to reduce the incidence of acute respiratory infections and pneumonia.
Material and methods. Two groups (283 people) were examined after vaccination with Grippol and Pneumo 23. In the first group (140 people), a three-component drug regimen (glutamine-tryptophan + bendazole + ascorbic acid) was used in combination with vaccination. In the second group (143 people), preventive measures were limited to vaccination.
Results and discussion. The use of a three-component drug regimen for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections in combination with Pneumo 23 and Grippol vaccination reduces the disease incidence by 3.3 times in the first month after the start of the treatment (epidemiological efficacy of 69.8%).
