【 摘 要 】

Purpose: to evaluate effectiveness of Oscillococcinum in the treatment of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) in children of different age groups.We observed 140 children from 1 to 14 years with mild to moderate-severe acute respiratory viral infection. 80 children (Group 1) were treated with Oscillococcinum, 60 children (Group 2) were treated symptomatically. Group 1 was divided into Subgroup 1А (40 children of 1–5 years old) and Subgroup 1B (40 children >5–14 years old). Group 2 was divided into Subgroup 2А (30 children of 1–5 years old) and Subgroup 2B (30 children >5–14 years old). The follow-up period was 7–10 days. Clinical efficacy was assessed by the severity of ARVI symptoms in scores from 0 to 2. All adverse events of the therapy were recorded. Also we evaluated disappearance of ARVI symptoms within 48 hours after the beginning of the therapy.Results: Oscillococcinum reduced the duration of ARVI in children of different age groups. During the first two days the symptoms of acute respiratory viral infection disappeared in 13 (16.3%) children of Group 1 receiving oscilococcinum and in 4 (6.7%) patients from Group 2 (OR = 2.7, 95 % CI 0.8–8.8, p <0.001).Conclusion: Oscillococcinum is an effective and safe drug to treat ARVI in children of different age groups.
