The advisability of its administration as a non-specific medication for the prophylaxis of respiratory diseases is confirmed by the increase of ?-interferon production, probably due to non-specific activation or modulation of NK-cells.</em><br /><p><strong><em>Key words: children, <span class="st">β-<em></em></span>carotene, interferon.</em></strong><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>(<em><em><em>Voprosy sovremennoi pediatrii - </em></em></em>Current Pediatrics. 2010;9(1):32-36)</em></span></p>
