Abstract

This article proposes a review of modern conceptions of interferons (IFNs) as the key element that determines the interaction of natural and adaptive immunity, their importance in antiviral defense of cells and the organism as a whole, and literature data on the value of interferon status in children, characteristics of interferon status in frequently ill children (FIC), as well as results of own authors’ examination of SC group - the degree of IFN-α and IFN-γ deficiency and humoral immunity. The study revealed IFN system deficiency alone in 66% of SC group, and violation of humoral immunity in combination with IFN system deficiency in 34% of FIC group. At the same time, only IFN system failure was revealed in all occasionally ill children, and indicators of humoral immunity were within normal limits. Choice of interferon inducers is demonstrated based on individual sensitivity of leukocytes. A number of drugs that are recommended for use in pediatric patients for the correction of identified violations were considered.
