[Subfamily of betaherpesviruses as a cause of epithelial and stromal keratitis].

Purpose: This article presents the first clinical results of intravital morphological verification of epithelial and stromal keratitis associated with betaherpesviruses.

Material And Methods: The study group included 12 patients (12 eyes) diagnosed with herpetic keratitis. During the initial visit to the clinic, each patient underwent a standard ophthalmological examination, as well as a number of laboratory tests: immunochemical analysis of blood, molecular diagnostics, and confocal microscopy.

Indispensable and replaceable amino acids in the blood serum and their relationship with macro- and microelements in the newborns of Fe-deficient anemic mothers (in conditions of an industrial city).

Anemia of the newborn is undoubtedly an actual problem in pediatrics. The imbalance between amino acids and biologically active macro- and microelements participating in hematopoiesis and Fe metabolism play an important role in its pathogenesis. Therefore knowledge of amino acid metabolism in the newborn helps to gain insight into pathogenetic mechanisms and to choose the right therapy.
