<p>Immune deficiency and viral infection is of great concern throughout the world. Immune deficiency is due to a failure of the body's immune system, which normally protects the body against infecting organisms and, for instance, the development of cancer. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) and other immune deficiency disorders increase susceptibility to certain type of diseases, cancer and recurrent or persistent infections. The invention suggests a novel pharmaceutical preparation for treating viral infections and which also can be utilized as an immune stimulant. According to the invention a pharmaceutical preparation for treating viral infections includes a powder or an extract derived from Vernonia Oligocephalus plant species, particularly from aerial parts. 8α-(2-hydroxymethyl acryloyloxy)-hirsutinolide-13-0-acetate may be the extract derived from the Vernonia Oligocephalus plant species.</p> |
