Abstract

The antiviral activity of Panavir was studied on a model of mice infected with the strain Sofjin of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus. The efficacy of Panavir was studied in the treatment of the chronic (monotherapy; 30 patients) and acute febrile and meningeal (combined therapy; n = 113) forms of TBE. Panavir was found to have a positive effect on the clinical course of TBE and the immune mechanisms of the body's protection.
