[Clinical immunological effect of interferon in cases of influenza].

New drug formulation--a sublingual tablet--was developed on the basis of human leukocyte interferon (HLI).

The drug shortened duration of intoxication and catarrhal syndrome, decreased rate of complications and restored interferon status.
