Popis: The paper summarizes research material on viral or bacterial infections and inflammatory diseases in infants, which are represented by the specific features of the development of the immune system as a whole, including the interferon system. This age period is characterized by physiological humoral immune deficiency; decreased activation of the complement system; insufficient synthesis of cytokines, including interferons; T-cell immunosuppression; impaired intercellular cooperation, and a weak functional activity | of natural killer cells and phagocytes. In this period, information on environmental antigens is accumulated in the presence of a primary immune response, which does not ensure a steady anti-infectious defense. In spite of the available large arsenal of antiviral agents and methods to prevent viral and bacterial infections and inflammatory diseases, there is a search for novel approaches to treating infectious diseases with consideration for the specific features of the immune status in infants.
