Salmonella Reading: A rare case of generalized salmonellosis in non-endemic region.

Reading is a rare serotype of and is associated with sporadic cases and rare outbreaks worldwide. This article describes a rare case of generalized Reading infection imported from Indonesia to Moscow, Russia.

Epidemiology and Genotype Distribution of Hepatitis C Virus in Russia.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes both acute and chronic infection of the liver that can lead to liver cirrhosis, cancer, and liver failure. HCV is characterized by high genetic diversity and substantial variations in the prevalence of specific HCV genotypes throughout the world. Many effective regimens of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), including pan-genotypic, can successfully treat HCV infection.

Clinical polymorphism in patients with infection in the Western Siberia.

Clinical symptoms of chronic opisthorchiasis superinvasion the inhabitants of the Western Siberia, which is hyperendemic for this parasites, are presented. The polymorphism of manifestations from many organs and systems (liver, respiratory, immune, musculoskeletal, and digestive, etc.) with the development of eosinophilic hepatitis, according to histological studies, are shown.

[Risk factors for the early development of septic shock in patients with severe COVID-19].

Aim: In a retrospective study, we evaluated factors associated with the early development of septic shock in patients with severe COVID-19.

Materials And Methods: We collected medical records of the intensive care unit patients submitted by the local COVID-19 hospitals across Russia to the Federal Center for the Critical Care at the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University). Septic shock in crticially ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation was defined as a need in vasopressors to maintain blood pressure.

[Treatment of chronic viral hepatitis C with direct acting antiviral agent: review].

HCV infection treatment regimens are viewed from positions of HCV life cycle and replication, effects of NS3/4A protease inhibitors and NS5A/NS5B inhibitors on HCV strain replication. Evolution of HCV treatment regimens from its discovery to modern DAA agents had led to substantial progress although drug resistance poses a new issue to be addressed.
