[IMMUNOMODULATORS IN THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF HERPES VIRUS INFECTIONS]
Abstract:
Herpes virus infections cause disbalance of the interferon system, suppress cellular andphagocytic reactions. This paper deals with modern classifications of immunomodulators and substantiates their application for the treatment of viral infections. Also, it demonstrates high efficacy of cycloferon as an additional agent for the treatment and prevention (immunorehabilitation) of recurrent genital herpes. Cycloferon exerts antiviral and immunomodulating action, does not interact with other medications, and is fairly well tolerated by the patients.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
