[Immunotherapy of certain acute and chronic forms of neuroinfections (tick-borne encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, disseminated encephalomyelitis)].

Abstract

The pathogenetic community of various viral neuroinfections different in their form and course points out that the use of means targeted at correction of the immune system functions is desirable. As a result of using combined immunotherapy methods the authors have obtained positive results in treating 38 patients suffering from some acute and chronic neuroinfections (grave local forms of acute tick-borne encephalitis, progredient forms of the same encephalitis, disseminated sclerosis, disseminated encephalomyelitis). Interrelations between the immunity factors are studied, and their role in the therapeutic effect obtained is discussed. The scheme and the result of the treatment, as well as general principles of dynamic observation and treatment of those patients are presented.
