[Laferon in the treatment of meningoencephalitis].

Administration of laferon to patients stimulates the blood serum interferon formation, with its peak being reached by 24 h. The evaluation done confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of laferon in meningoencephalites. This was manifested by reduction in duration of certain clinical symptoms, timeterms of spinal fluid sanitation, improvement in immunity parameters and increase in the patients' blood serum level of interferon.

[The therapeutic efficacy of reaferon in meningoencephalitis].

There have been under observation 63 patients with meningoencephalitis at the age of 15-52 years whose complex treatment included reaferon and 42 patients with the same disease who were not given the drug. Reaferon was noted to be effective in meningoencephalitis. It shortened the period of clinical manifestation of the disease, hastened sanation of the liquor, influenced beneficially interferon production and modulated activity of the natural killers.

[The characteristics of computed study data on the brain in viral meningoencephalitis].

An analysis is presented of CT examination of the brain in viral meningoencephalitis in 113 patients with viral encephalitis. Pathological changes in the acute period were found in 65.4% of patients more frequently in the CSF system, rarer in the brain tissue (in herpetic encephalitis).
