[Ixodic tick-borne borreliosis: clinical and laboratory features.].

For a differentiation of clinical forms of ixodic tick-borne borreliosis clinical laboratory assessment of features of the most often defined hemostasis and complete blood count (CBC) indicators is carried out. Ixodic tick-borne borreliosis in the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan is characterized by mainly erythematous forms of a disease with a medium-weight current. At the same time some increase in quantity of platelets was noted that could be caused by irritation of a megakaryocytic sprout of bone marrow in the conditions of infectious process and have compensatory character whereas other indicators of CBC and hemostasis at this clinical form practically didn't change.

[The efficiency of modernmethods of laboratory diagnosis in the evaluation of various forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome caused by the Puumala hantavirus (PUUV).].

We've conducted the analysis of both traditional and new methods of laboratory diagnosis to estimate the severity and damage of target organs during Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS). It was shown that thrombocytopenia corresponds to the severity of the disease and correlates with the severity of renal failure. The level of C-reactive protein reflects the activity of the inflammatory process and correlates with the characteristic laboratory criteria of the disease.

[A new approach to diagnosing and evaluating the efficiency of dehelmintization in ascariasis].

The results of dehelmintization were studied in 127 patients with the intestinal stage of ascariasis. Its diagnosis was established by the Kato test. The ovoscopic technique was combined with the trend of proinflammatory cytokines and the grade of dysbacteriosis.

[Proinflammatory cytokines in children with acute enteric infections caused by enterobacteria].

The levels of the proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was investigated in 73 children in the age range from 3 to 17 years with slight and medium-heavy diarrheal illness caused by pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic entrobacteria. Strong positive correlation was found between: the levels of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and intoxication rate (r=0.65 and r=0.
