Abstract

The epidemiological effectiveness of a low molecular interferon inducer, dipyridamole, as a means of prevention of influenza and ARD was studied in a double-blind epidemiological trial in a period of seasonal rise of ARD (Dec., 26, 1984-March 13, 1985). A statistically significant decrease of ARD incidence (1.91-fold) in the experimental group was confirmed by the results of serological studies and titrations of serum interferon in paired sera collected before the prevention and 10 days after its termination in selected subgroups from the experimental and control groups. The results indicate that the use of dipyridamole may be effective for mass prevention of influenza and ARD.
