[Acute non-calculous cholecystitis in a young aged patient with COVID-19: A case report].

To date, it is known that COVID-19 can lead to damage to various organs and systems, despite the statistical prevalence of respiratory manifestations of the disease. In some cases, in order to treat complications of coronavirus infection, a multidisciplinary approach may be required, including on an urgent basis. The article presents a clinical case of acute non-calculous cholecystitis in a 41-year-old patient with COVID-19.

[Postmortem forensic medical diagnostics of fulminant sepsis caused by Gram-negative bacterium (Capnocitophaga canimorsus) following a dog bite].

This article provides the example of postmortem forensic medical diagnostics of fulminant sepsis caused by Gram-negative bacterium (Capnocitophaga canimorsus) following a dog bite. In order to identify the etiological factor of fulminant sepsis, the expert carried out the study of the autopsy materials with the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This method has only recently been introduced into postmortem diagnostics of fulminant sepsis in this country; it has no analogs abroad and can be employed for the purpose of forensic medical expertise and pathological anatomic studies.

[Syphilis in a patient with the primary diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus and herpes infection].

The paper reports a case of fresh secondary syphilis affecting oral cavity and lips in a 25 year old woman. The primary diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus and herpes infection proved erroneous. Retrospective differential diagnostics of infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus and herpes infection from fresh secondary syphilis was performed This case suggests the absence of vigilance with respect to venereal diseases in the medical personnel.

[The state of oral cavity in patients with hepatitis A].

The aim of the study was to estimate oral cavity condition in 42 patients aged 25-58 years with hepatitis A. Forty patients without hepatic pathology served as controls. Hepatitis A is known to be associated with inflammation of oral mucosa with stomatitis occurring in 78.

[Evaluation of muscle relaxant requirement for hospital anesthesia].

The rationale for cost-effectiveness of modern muscle relaxants (MR) administration in general anesthesia was evaluated. New MRs are more expensive than traditionally used pipecuronium and succinylcholine. However, the old MRs are often required as a block reversion with anticholinesterase medicines at the end of surgery, the longer artificial lung ventilation and observation in patients during recovery in intensive care unit.

[HIV infection in a patient with a referral diagnosis of sore throat].

HIV infection was documented in a patient with hairy leukoplakia and oral candidiasis who had the wrong referral diagnosis of sore throat in the absence of dental complaints. Dental treatment at an infectious hospital led to regression of oral mucosa lesions, but failed to arrest the progress of severe pneumonia presumably caused by a specific pathogen.

[Salmonellosis and concomitant yersiniosis].

Clinical description of salmonellosis and concomitant yersiniosis in 6 women aged 26-50 years infected from a common source is presented. They were members of a group of 65 women suffering alimentary intoxication the source of which was supposed to be either light-salted salmon or vegetable salad. The incubation period varied from 4 to 12 hours.

[Comparative efficiency and side effects of combined antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis C].

The study included 100 patients with chronic hepatitis C previously untreated by interferon preparations. Patients of group I (n=53) were given pegylated interferon alpha-2b (PEG IFN) and rebetol, patients of group 2 (n=47) PEG IFN and copegus. The overall efficiency of therapy regardless of hepatitis C virus genotype in the two groups was estimated at 83 and 79% respectively.

[Anaerobic gas-producing clostridial endogenic infection in patient with salmonellosis].

Anaerobic gas-producing clostridial infection is one of most severe complications of mainly gunshot wound of war period, in peace time occurs very seldom. The rare clinical case of anaerobic gas-producing clostridial endogenic infection with fulminant course in patient with salmonellosis produced by group B salmonella typhimurium. The disease was finished with fatal outcome in 8.

[Concerning changes of oral cavity mucous tunic in acute enteric infection].

The authors represented the results of oral cavity stomatological examination in 171 patients with acute enteric infection (AEI): shigellosis, salmonellosis etc in dynamics of disease. These patients had first diagnosed inflammatory changes of oral cavity mucous tunic: catarrhal gingivitis, catarrhal and benign migratory glossitis, aphthous stomatitis with submandibular lymphadenitis. These changes were accompanied by aggravation of herpetic infection or its debut, candidosis.

[Acute myocarditis caused by ECHO virus].

Enteroviral infection is characterized by clinical polymorphism. One of its clinical manifestation is myocarditis, which is usually caused by Coxsackie virus. ECHO viruses cause the disease mostly in childhood.

[Fever as a very important symptom of infectious and some non-infectious diseases].

Fever is a protective and adaptive reaction, an early and obligatory symptom of infectious diseases in the first place. Historically, this term has been used in the names of more than 20 infectious diseases. Fever may also be a manifestation of other diseases accompanied by aseptic inflammation and neurohumoral disturbances.

[Comparative efficacy of combined treatment with intron A and pegintron in combination with ribavirin of patients with chronic hepatitis C].

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of combined therapy of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) including intron A, pegintron (preparations of alpha-2b interferon) and ribavirin, and evaluation of the above treatment side effects.

Material And Methods: 47 CHC patients (38 males and 9 females) were divided into two groups. 22 patients of group 1 received intron A and ribavirin, 25 patients of group 2 were given pegintron and ribavirin for 6-12 months.

[Clinical response to etiotropic therapy of chronic viral hepatitis C].

Matched patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) were treated with monotherapy with intron A, or its combination with ribavirin or pegintron combination with ribavirin. The comparison group consisted of patients with a natural CHC course who received no specific antiviral therapy. The highest treatment efficacy was achieved in use of pegintron with ribavirin.

[Cardio-vascular system condition in respiratory mycoplasmosis].

The study enrolled 53 patients (29 males, 24 females) with respiratory mycoplasmosis aged 15-88 years. Most of them were 59 years of age and younger. In 1/3 of the patients the diseases started with symptoms of acute respiratory viral infection, in 2/3 of them--with pulmonary affection.

Aim: To study microcirculation (MC), hemostasis and blood viscosity (BV) in influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) complicated by pneumonia.

Material And Methods: Conjunctival biomicroscopy, hemostasis and BV were studied in 232 patients with influenza and ARVI. In 91 of them the disease complicated with acute pneumonia (AP), in 87--with obstructive bronchitis.
