ABSTRACT
Presented herein are the findings of examining a total of 66 patients suffering from lower limb varicosity complicated by trophic ulcers, to have been subdivided into 3 groups depending on the vegetative reaction of the cardiovascular system to the orthostatic test. In each patient group, determined were peculiarities of the parameters of the central and peripheral haemodynamics at rest and while performing active orthostasis, as well as peculiarities of the clinical pattern and course of the disease. Based on the obtained findings, the authors revealed a group of patients suffering from trophic ulcers with the severest clinical course of the disease.

Faeces and nasopharyngeal washing were examined in 12 patients and 27 contacts of these patients in family foci (primary foci) of rheumatism and in 37 patients and 32 contacts of these patients in secondary foci of rheumatism (in hospitals). Results of stimultaneous examinations of 127 children of the control groups served as the control. An analysis of the results of the investigation showed the Coxsackie A 13 virus was found considerably more frequently in both the patients (83.3%) and their contacts (148.1%) in the primary foci of rheumatism than outside these foci (11.9--15.3%). The difference is statistically significant. Wide distribution of Coxsackie A 13 virus was also observed in clinical departments in which children were hospitalized at the acute stage of rheumatism. We failed to establish marked differences in the rate of detection of other viruses in the foci of rheumatism in comparison with the control groups.
