Profilassi delle infezioni virali aereotrasmesse : il ruolo della immunostimolazione con bactolisati

One of the most severe complications of influenza, in particular of the avian, is the bacterial upper or especially lower bronchopulmonary superinfection which may lead to the feared respiratory distress syndrome. The preventive measures are essentially based on medications aimed at selectively strengthening the individual immune system against specific viruses (the vaccine is but not yet available) and on the immunostimulation with bacteriolysates, bacterial extracts which are similar to non specific vaccines modulating and reinforcing individual defences.
