Abstract

Based on a retrospective analysis of 763 outpatient medical records for the year 2025, this paper investigates the structure, seasonal dynamics, clinical manifestations, complications, and treatment-diagnostic tactics for acute respiratory viral infections (ARVIs) among military combatants at the medical unit of military branch A1937 (Kyiv). It was established that ARVIs account for 19.8% of all outpatient visits, demonstrating a distinct winter-spring seasonality with a peak in February-March (36.0% of annual morbidity) and a predominance among soldiers and sergeants (84.8%). The rate of repeat visits was 19.7%. The rationality of outpatient treatment tactics was determined, featuring a predominance of symptomatic therapy (95.8%) and a justified restriction of antibiotic prescriptions (6.2%). Based on the research findings, practical recommendations were developed to optimize medical support, specific vaccine prevention, and non-specific infection control in military cohorts.
