[Clinical and immunological indicators in patient with viral hepatitis A combined with ascariasis]. / Kliniko-immunulogichekie pokazateli u bol'nykh birusnym gepatitom A v sochetanii s askaridozom.

The data obtained point to the aggravation of virus hepatitis A time-course in case of a mixed pathology. This may be due to the state of a certain immune deficiency characteristic of parasitic diseases, including helminthiasis. It is also possible that immune deficiency is an inevitable condition for helminths' existance in the host. This suggestion is supported by the fact of helminthic invasion of virus hepatitis patients.

[Clinico-epidemiological characteristics of Q fever in the Carpathian region]. / Kliniko-épidemiologicheskaia kharakteristika Ku-likhoradki v Prikarpat'e.

The study of the specific epidemiological and clinical features of Q fever revealed the existence of an active focus of infection among humans due to their contacts with agricultural animals in one of the districts of the region. The focus was manifested by group morbidity among the cattle-tending personnel of a dairy farm. The source of this infection was cattle. The infection was transferred mainly through the air. The disease took a moderately severe course. The study of the rickettsial contamination of humans, animals and ticks suggested the presence of the active epidemic process and made it possible to work out concrete antiepidemic measures.
