ACUTE KIDNEY DAMAGE AS A COMPLICATION OF MALARIA CAUSED BY PL. MALARIA AND PL. FALCIPARUM: CLINICAL CASES.

We have described two clinical cases of severe malaria caused by different pathogens: Pl. falciparum and Pl. malaria, common to which there was a severe course, complicated by acute renal failure and hemolytic anemia.

EFFICACY OF SPECIFIC PREVENTION OF INFLUENZA IN INDIVIDUALS WITH POLYMORPHISMS ARG753GLN OF TLR-2, LEU412PHE OF TLR-3, ASP299GLY OF TLR-4 GENES.

Objective: The aim: Is to study the efficacy of influenza vaccination for individuals with polymorphism Arg753Gln of TLR-2 gene, Leu412Phe of TLR-3 gene, and Asp299Gly of TLR-4 gene.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 66 people with mutant genotypes and normal distribution of alleles of TLR-2, TLR-3, TLR-4 genes, aged 18-63, were inoculated with anti-influenza vaccine. The genotyping of Arg753Gln polymorphic site of TLR-2, Asp299Gly of TLR-4, and Leu412Phe of TLR-3 gene was carried out by polymerase chain reaction with oligonucleotide primers usage.

Some clinical and epidemiological features of influenza-associated pneumonia depending on the etiological agent.

Objective: The aim: To analyze the epidemiological data and clinical course of pneumonia as a complication of influenza in the Poltava region, depending on the etiological agent.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We have analysed the data of the official reporting documentation provided by the State Institution "Poltava Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" and the chart of patients with a laboratory confirmed diagnosis of influenza who were in inpatient treatment at the Poltava Regional Clinical Infectious Hospital (PRCIH) in 2016-2018 years. In more detail, we examined 95 patients with pneumonia, which complicated the course of the flu.

TLR4 and TLR7 genetic polymorphism in patients with HIV/HCV-coinfection: prevalence and gender-related features.

Objective: Introduction: HIV-infection and chronic hepatitis C is of great concern of current infectology. The paper is aimed at the study of the prevalence of the of TLR4 gene Gly and TLR7 gene Leu polymorphic alleles among patients with HIV/HCV-coinfection in general and with regard to gender, as well as to determine their role in the development of the infection.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: To achieve the objective of the research a cohort and case-control study has been carried out.

Genetic polymorphism ARG753GLN of TLR-2, LEU412PHE of TLR-3, ASP299GLY of TLR-4 in patients with influenza and influenza-associated pneumonia.

Objective: The aim of the research is to study the prevalence and to determine the prognostic significance of polymorphism ARG753GLN of the TLR-2 gene, Leu412Phe of TLR-3, Asp299Gly of TLR-4 in influenza.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 112 patients with influenza were examined (63 patients with uncomplicated course and 49 with influenza-associated pneumonia). The genotyping of the polymorphic site of ARG753GLN of the TLR-2 gene, Asp299Gly of the TLR-4 gene, and Leu412Phe of the TLR-3 gene was carried out by polymerase chain reaction using oligonucleotide primers.
