[Activity of B and D factors of complement alternative pathway in children with atopic dermatitis].

Aim: Development of enzyme immunoassay detection of B and D factors of complement alternative pathway functional activity for solving diagnostic and prognostic problems of patient therapy. Study activity of these factors in blood sera of children with atopic dermatitis before and after therapy for elucidation of the role of complement alternative pathway in pathogenesis of this disease.

Materials And Methods: Children aged 6 months to 18 years with atopic dermatitis were examined for functional activity of B and D factors in blood sera before and after therapy by the developed methods.

[The content of rosette-forming neutrophils and lysozyme in patients with Q-fever].

The article deals with the results of study of 35 patients with Q-fever and 30 donors to determine the content of rosette-forming neutrophils, lysozyme activity of blood and saliva. On the second week of disease it was revealed the activation of compensative immune mechanisms and on third and fourth week inhibition of these mechanisms.

[The role and biological significance of toll-like receptors in the anti-infectious resistance of the organism].

Modem conceptions of the role of toll-like receptors (TLR) in the innante immunity mechanisms realization and data on the interaction between TLR and pattern-associated molecular proteins of microbial or endogenic origin are presented in the review.

[Interferon therapy of infectious diseases: the state of the problem and prospects].

The data contained in literature and obtained in our own investigations, aimed at the evaluation of the significance of interferon preparations for the correction of immunological disturbances are presented. A special place is given to the role of mild medicinal forms of interferon, the necessity of their use is grounded and good prospects for their inclusion into the complex therapy of infectious diseases are shown.
