[Polymorphism of genes of interleukin-1 family as factor of pathogenesis of nozokomialny pneumonia].

Despite the abundance of research devoted to nosocomial pneumonia, so far there are no clear diagnostic criteria for it and predict the outcome of nosocomial pneumonia is based on the individual clinical, instrumental, laboratory and other parameters that are not related to each other as links in a single pathogenesis. External factors contributing to the development of the pneumonia and determine its prognosis, adequately lit, and the problem lies in the fact that no comprehensive clinical and pathophysiological approach to assessing the outcome of nosocomial pneumonia considering its immunogenetic features. One aspect of learning is nosocomial pneumonia appraisal of immune system, in particular, -- cytokines that have both diagnostic and prognostic value.

[Eosinophilic enterocolitis: a clinical case].

The paper describes a clinical case of primary eosinophilic enterocolitis in a 41-year-old female patent. It presents a brief review of the literature on the problem of primary eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal diseases.

[A case of multifocal fibrosis].

We report a case of multifocal fibrosis extending retroperitoneally (Ormond's syndrome) with urinary tract obstruction and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis that resulted in chronic renal insufficiency. The development of mediastinal and pericardial fibrosis was accompanied by clinical symptoms of exudative and constrictive pericarditis. Fibrosis of cardiac conducting system was associated with compromised sinus node and intraventricular blockade.

[Differential diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia in a patient with secondary immunodeficiency].

This differential diagnostic study included patients with the clinical picture of lower airwave infection and bilateral lung density. The difficulty of nosological verification of the diagnosis was due to the presence of neutropenia in a patient with liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism. Results of his clinical and X-ray examination were indicative of severe bacterial pneumonia.
