ABSTRACT
Bacterial allergens were used in the treatment of patients with chronic generalized slight and medium severe periodontitis. The allergens were used for hyposensitization or immunostimulation, depending on skin reactions to staphylococcal, streptococcal, and Escherichia coli allergens. Positive shifts in nonspecific immunity were attained; bacterial sensitization decreased, which indicates the treatment efficiency.

The retrospective analysis of medical documents from several dental clinics of Kazan in 1993-1995 revealed an increase in the occurrence of different form of hospital infections (HI) in patients. As the result of our investigations, the factors of the transmission of HI among the patients of dental clinics were established, the sources of infective agents were found out and the etiology of hospital purulent inflammatory diseases in dental clinics was studied. Some measures permitting the prevention of further increase in the occurrence of HI in the patients of dental clinics are proposed.
