Description
Summary:Thirty three children with associative forms of thick-borne infection (thick-borne encephalitis with ixodic borreliosis) were clinically observed. The disease was characterized by subfebrile temperature, moderate intoxication, rare erythema (39.5%) and frequent cardiovascular disorders with development of Lyme carditis (32.6+7.2%) and further rise of hepatomegalia in the diseases dynamics and development of meningeal symptoms. There were observed changes in the cytokine spectrum, characterized by INF-γ high levels, and hypersecretion of the whole spectrum cytokines in the dynamics, that provided the Th2 type immune response. High clinicoimmunological efficacy of the complex therapy with cycloferon as an immunomodulator providing more balanced production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1α, INF-γ and IL-10) was shown.
