APPLICATION OF ELISA-IGM (MAC-ELISA) FOR DETERMINING ETIOLOGICAL LINK VIRUS TYPES IN CONCRET CASES OF THE DISEASE

Akinshina Y.A., Larichev V.F., Sayfullin M.A., Mardanly S.G., Butenko A.M.

Abstract

105 sera from 101 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of dengue fever (LD) were examined using monospecific ELISA-IgM test. Monospecific results were observed in 39 samples (37.1%). 27 sample of them were taken during the first 7 days of the disease. In those systems were examined 23 serum samples of 23 patients, in which etiological role of one of the four dengue viruses was been established by the RT-PCR method. In this case, the coincidence-IgM ELISA results and the RT-PCR took place in 14 sera (60.9%).

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENCE OF TUBERCULOSIS IN THE RESIDENT POPULATION OF MOSCOW IN 2010-2014

Karkach A.S., Romanyukha A.A., Borisov S.E., Belilovskiy E.M., Sannikova T.E., Avilov K.K.

Abstract

In the work there is described the methodology and results of the analysis of epidemiological data on the prevalence rate of tuberculosis in Moscow in 2010-2014. The aim of the study was the search for socio-economic and demographic factors affecting on the morbidity rate in city residents. To solve this problem, there was evaluated the initial and standardized incidence rate of tuberculosis in 107 districts of the city. By the method of step-by-step regression, the incidence rates were compared with the socio-economic characteristics of the districts. The results of the treatment showed about 40% of the dispersion of incidence between regions to be due to a variation of two characteristics: the proportion of families receiving subsidies for housing and communal services and the proportion of men over 80 years old. The obtained estimate of the degree of socio-economic determination of the prevalence of tuberculosis is close to the estimates value obtained in similar studies in other countries. The results of the study confirm the hypothesis an important mechanism for the development of tuberculosis in Moscow to be the activation of a latent infection as a result of a weakening of immune protection under the influence of unfavorable socio-economic conditions. Nо relationship between the prevalence rate in permanent residents and migrants registered in the district was revealed.

RISK FACTORS OF HIV INFECTION AMONG THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE MIGRANT POPULATION OF THE FAR NORTH

Istomin P.V., Volova L.Y., Mefod’ev V.V., Romanova A.A.

Abstract

In the Far North are the most vulnerable to HIV infection by representatives of indigenous peoples living in the national villages, aged 20-29 years old, female. Due to the close relationship between the indigenous inhabitants of possible drift of HIV infection in the community tundra nomadic population. In the group of HIV-positive indigenous peoples in 100% have sexual transmission for migrants - 68,9%. For HIV-infected natives are characterized by a high incidence of sexually transmitted infections, alcoholism, tuberculosis, for alien population - chronic viral hepatitis. In HIV-infected persons indigenous have lower levels of CD4 lymphocytes, CD4/CD8 ratio compared with the migrant population.

BRUCELLOSIS - ACUTE ZOONOTIC INFECTION ON THE TERRITORY OF THE OMSK REGION

Safonov A.D., Pnevskiy Y.A., Nurpeysova A.K.

Abstract

In the article there are presented some epidemiological and epizootological data on brucellosis infection in the territory of the Omsk region in 2010-2014. There is specified the territorial spread of disadvantaged points for brucellosis of animals in the Omsk region. There is presented the incidence rate of newly diagnosed brucellosis cases in the region in the comparison with similar indices for Russia and the Siberian Federal District (SFD). The excess in the morbidity rate in the region in the comparison with the index on Russia in 2010 was shown to be by more than 2 times (0.7 and 0.3 per 100 thousand of population, respectively) with practically comparable indices for the region (0.15-0.35), in Russia (0.24-0.34) and SFD (0.22-0.39) over the subsequent 4 years. There are presented data on clinical pathogenetic variants in patients with newly diagnosed brucellosis for the indicated period. There was noted a significant excess of chronic brucellosis (in 20 of 35 patients) over other clinical and pathogenetic variants of infection. Based on the analysis of clinical and laboratory data in patients who were on the treatment in the D.M. Dalmatova Infectious Clinical Hospital No 1 in 2010-2014 years (N = 205), clinical characteristics of chronic and residual brucellosis with the specification of leading syndromes and symptoms at the present stage are presented.

PROSPECTIVE MONITORING OF AIRWAY COLONIZATION AS WAY TO VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA PROPHYLAXIS

Sinikin V.A., Beloborodov V.B.

Abstract

Introduction. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common type of nosocomial infection. It’s characterized high mortality (24-76%), leads to increase of mechanical ventilation length, length of stay in intensive care units, significant increase of hospital length of stay and cost of care. The aim of this study was to perform the systematic analysis of the current literature devoted to the problem of airway bacterial colonization and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) prophylaxis. Objectives of the study: the definition of the value of airway bacterial colonization in clinical practice, feasibility of airway bacterial colonization monitoring, prophylaxis, VAP diagnosis and prophylaxis which based on the bacterial colonization monitoring data. For the solution of the designated objectives in the scientific medical databases Medscape and Pubmed there was performed the search for the publications on subject headings, covering these problems. Conclusion. Airway bacterial colonization by potential infectious agent is a one of the key stage in VAP development. Prospective bacterial colonization monitoring (in addition to laboratory and instrumental analysis, clinical presentation) enable to get current microbiological data in prospective mode and to provide the targeted real-time antibacterial therapy in case of pneumonia onset. But at present this way is not convential and requires additional improvement. The guidelines to selection of time, type, technology and personalization VAP prophylaxis methods can be developed on basis of this technique.

INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE SYNDROME OF ACUTE HEPCENARY FAILURE

Tetova V.B., Burgasova O.A., Volkova V.M., Belyaeva N.M.

Abstract

In the review the data concerning an etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the acute liver failure (ALF) and also potential options of alternative treatment are considered: Orthotopic transplantation of liver and modern approaches to patient maintenance. The ALF syndrome, despite the progress in the intensive therapy modes, represents a clinical syndrome with the high mortality rate. In healthy adults, especially in cases aged of up to 30 years ALF syndrome represents a significant intredisciplinary problem in terms of diagnostics and maintenance tactics. The clinical picture is most often presented by the hepatic dysfunction, development of a coagulopathy and change of biochemical indices of the liver function, with the development of encephalopathy and polyorganic insufficiency. The lethality rate in this syndrome reaches 50%. The high mortality rate, severity of the course, etiologic heterogeneity causes the need of the development of standards for the supporting therapy. Thanks to achievements in the field of the intensive therapy and the use of the emergency transplantation of a liver allograft survival indices have considerably been improved in recent years.

VACCINATION AGAINST MALARIA: REALITY AND PERSPECTIVES

Litvinov S.K., Bronshteyn A.M., Morozov E.N.

Abstract

Malaria continues to be a major international public health problem. However a significant reduction in the morbidity rate has been achieved over the past decade. The effective vaccine against malaria, caused by P. falciparun, could contribute significantly to the prevention and control of the disease, as tropical malaria is most widely distributed in the world. Nowadays there is the only RTS,S/AS01 vaccine had passed the accomplished phase 3 of clinical trial and received endorsement of certain bodies of World Health Organization and European Medicines Agency. RTS,S/AS01 is a pre-erythrocytic hybrid recombinant protein vaccine. Both immunogenicity and effectiveness of this vaccine particularly in children aged of 5-12 months were demonstrated by the trial at the time for first vaccination. Vaccine should be administered 3 times as the initial series of inoculation with 4 weeks interval and then the 4th dose should be given 15-18 months later. Since there is still a number of issues required certain clarifications, the decision has been taken to undertake another relatively large pilot project in African countries, prior to final recommendations on the vaccine use could be developed and proposed to countries. The implementation of this new trial will definitely take appropriate time. The contribution of vaccine to malaria control might be significant only if used simultaneously with other proved malaria control measures, such as the use of insecticide-treated nets, detection of malaria cases with the use of rapid diagnostic tests and subsequent its treatment, chemoprevention when appropriate and, of course vector control. The consideration of the vaccine use as the mechanism, which should allow achieve the eradication of the disease is not appropriate in principle.

ACUTE AND CHRONIC STRONGYLOIDIASIS IN RUSSIAN TOURISTS TRAVELLED TO THAILAND, THE COAST OF BLACK SEA IN RUSSIA AND ABKHAZIA: PROBLEMS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT. ANALYSIS OF CASES AND REVIEW

Bronshteyn A.M., Fedyanina L.V., Malyshev N.A., Lashin V.Y., Burova S.V., Davydova I.V., Maksimova M.S., Sokolova L.V.

Abstract

Cases of acute and chronic Strongyloides stercoralis are presented as tourists travelled to Thailand, the coast of Black sea in Russia and Abkhazia. A high level of clinical suspicion is required to make the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis in at-risk patients presenting with peripheral eosinophilia, unexplained intermittent diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and skin rashes. Owing to increased risk of developing disseminated disease or hyperinfection syndrome, early detection and treatment of strongyloidiasis are extremely important. Strongyloidiasis should be routinely investigated in patients with chronic diseases who will undergo immunosuppressive therapy. Ivermectin or thiabendazole currently is the treatment of choice which are more effective than albendazole.
