[Experience with the etiotropic treatment of children with tick-bone encephalitis].

The authors conducted a comparative study of the therapeutical effectivity of ribonuclease, hetero- and homologic specific gamma-globulin used in 189 children with tick-borne encephalitis in the acute period of the disease. It was established that there was a significant advantage of ribonuclease before serotherapy. During ribonuclease treatment the febrile period of the disease was much less, while the meningeal symptoms disappeared more rapidly with normalization of the CSF.
