Abstract
152 cases of enteroviral meningitis in children aged 3 to 17years treated at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Yaroslavl have been analyzed. The dominance of moderate forms of the disease with hypertension-hydrocephalic syndrome has been established. The combination with other clinical forms of enteroviral infection was rare, except for reactive pancreatitis. In patients with aseptic meningitis in the acute phase of illness an imbalance of cytokine profile due to increasing the production ofproinflammatory and reduction of the protective role of anti-inflammatory cytokines took place. Despite the relatively favorable course, a high risk of developing functional and organic disorders of the nervous system in a period of convalescence maintained, which creates conditions for the revision and supplement the standard protocols of treatment programs by including in them medicines of etiotropic targeting. The authors have developed regimens and performed the analysis of clinical and immunological efficacy of drugs with antiviral and interferonogenic action - arbidol and amiksin - in the content of complex basic therapy. In addition, the results of outpatient monitoring ofconvalescents 3 months after discharge from hospital have been analyzed. These data justify the need and desirability of inclusion of etiotropic drugs in standards of the basic therapy of enteroviral meningitis in children.
