##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The objective was to analyze the effectiveness of suppressive therapy of frequently recurring forms of herpetic infection, including a preparation containing valaciclovir and inducer of endogenous interferon – Overin.
Materials and methods. Under observation for 6 months were 42 patients with frequently recurring forms of herpetic infection. The patients were divided into groups depending on the treatment regimens. The main group included 22 patients, the comparison group - 20. The control group consisted of 30 healthy people. Patients of the main group with frequently recurring forms of herpes (more than 6 relapses per year) received suppressive therapy with valoacyclovir, additionally they were prescribed Overin. Patients in the comparison group received standard suppressive therapy for 60 days, including a preparation containing valacyclovir.
Results. The reasons of occurrence and a technique of treatment of chronic frequently recurring forms of herpesvirus infection were studied. An etiopathogenetically substantiated method for treating diseases caused by the herpes simplex virus has been developed.
The conclusion. The use of Overin in the complex therapy of the recurring forms of herpetic infection is ethiopathogenetically justified. The drug effectively improves the immune parameters of the blood and the general condition of the patients.
