[The clinical diagnosis and treatment of meningitis caused by Coxsackie B viruses].

Clinical features of meningitis caused by Coxsackie virus B were analyzed in 369 adult patients. The authors draw attention to polymorphism of manifestation and diagnostic signs of the diseases. Reaferon used in complex treatment was established to be the most effective.

[The diagnosis of Coxsackievirus infection in adults].

Clinical manifestations were analyzed in 168 patients with Coxsackie infection forms proved by laboratory tests. It is shown that it is possible to diagnose Coxsackie infection forms on the basis of syndromes and their associations characteristic of this disease.

[The effect of several factors on the osmotic resistance of erythrocytes].

Measurements of red cell osmotic resistance in urea test have shown the stabilizing effect of hydrocortisone and ascorbic acid on red cell membrane permeability. This permitted a conclusion on the fitness of the test for assessment of the drug effects on red cell membrane permeability and on the possibility of the use of this test in choosing an individual dose of UV irradiation.

[Evaluation of the cationic-lysosomal test in patients with pneumonia against a background of therapy].

The authors' findings evidence that measurements of cationic protein levels is a sufficiently informative test in the complex of investigations that help predict the course of acute pneumonia and the therapeutic efficacy of drugs stimulating the nonspecific resistance of the body. Combined therapy with the use of methyluracil and eleutherococcus is more effective for pneumonia patients than the complex including aloe and antibacterial and symptomatic agents alone.
