title: [Interferon efficacy in treating patients with Astrakhan fever].
abstract: Astrakhan fever is a new endemic rickettsiosis belonging to the group of tick-borne spotted fevers. Adjuvant use of interferons in basic treatment of Astrakhan fever elevates its efficacy. The maximal contribution of interferons can be reached at administration of alpha-2 and gamma-interferons in daily doses 15,000-25,000 and 1500-2500 IU/kg, respectively. The response is higher at early administration of the medication. Interferons induce side effects early in the course: intensification of hyperthermia and pains.
