Community-acquired pneumonia is a disease of great military epidemiological importance to Armed Forces, especially among military conscripts due to fast spread of the disease, high morbidity rates, complication risks and significant productivity losses. System approach to prevention activities for community-acquired pneumonia allow to lower morbidity among military conscripts. There are two problems being solved using system approach which includes personnel vaccination (with pneumovax 23 vaccine). Firstly, activity of the epidemiological process is reduced which not only lowers morbidity rates but also improves course of the disease which is represented by decrease in percentage of severe cases and complications. Secondly, infection resistance among military conscripts increases. There is probability that this effect is caused by prophylactic use of Cycloferon - immunomodulator with wide activity spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
