[Liver function and pathogenetic therapy for echinococcosis].

This paper contains the results of examining and treating 64 patients with hepatic echinococcosis, treated at the Surgery Unit of the Samarkand Medical Institute Clinic. Forty-five healthy donors of a blood transfusion station formed a control group. There were a total of 109 examined persons.

[Study of the pathogenesis of paecilomycosis-complicated echinococcosis].

Experiments were carried out on 35 lambs infected with echinococcus eggs taken from canine donors, 5 lambs with echinococcosis, 5 lambs with echinococcosis + paecilomycosis, 5 lambs with coenurosis, 5 with cysticercosis ovis, 5 with alveococcosis, 5 with paecilomycosis, inoculated by the material taken from patients; and 5 healthy lambs formed a control group. Cystic hydatidosis was found to induce substantial cardiovascular changes.

[The epizootology and epidemiology of echinococcosis and paecilomycosis].

Fungi of the genus Paecilomyces, a causative agent of the fungal disease paecilomycosis, have been found in the blood of productive animals (sheep, cattle, pigs, goats) that are carriers of Echinococcus larvocysts. In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the echinococcosis affection of sheep, cattle, pigs, and goats continues to remain high. Domestic fowls (chickens, turkeys, and gooses) have been established to be blood carriers of Paecilomyces fungi, which is also true for wild birds, such as my-lady's-belts, quails, chukars, and crows.
