The problems associated with the distribution, diagnosis, classification and treatment of urogenital tract chlamydiosis in Russia are discussed. Some arrangements for the improvement of the activities of the laboratory diagnostic services, the use of the International Classification of urogenital tract chlamydioses and the treatment optimization are offered. The drug of choice in the treatment of urogenital tract chlamydiosis is azithromycin (Sumamed, Pliva). Doxycycline, erythromycin and ofloxacin are recommended as the reserve drugs.

Forty patients with various dermatoses (psoriasis, ichthyosis, Darier's disease, discoid lupus erythematosis) were followed-up over the course of treatment with tigason, an aromatic retinoid. The effect was satisfactory in the majority of patients. Side effects were recorded in 16 cases.

A new phenomenon has been revealed: deactivation of pathogenic T. pallidum under the effect of intensified static magnetic field of film domain structures. The mechanism of action of an artificial magneto-regulated environment on T. pallidum, rabbit spermatozoa and red cells has been discovered; T. pallidum organelles magnetotropism scale has been defined, as well as the magnetic sensitivity of rabbit spermatozoa heads and red cells.

The authors proceed with their studies of magnetic microfields detected round T. pallidum and of the interactions of these fields with the biologic objects round the treponemas; these studies will prompt approaches to physiotherapeutic management of infectious diseases, making use of a new (for medicine) source of physical fields. They have revealed that T. pallidum fluorescence intensity and the width of the 'fan' of T. pallidum on the domain structures of ferrite/garnet films indicates the degree of T. pallidum pathogeneity.

An end ferromagnetic masking of T. pallidum has been revealed; this phenomenon appears to help the bacterium orientation in human body under the effects of both the external electromagnetic fields and the internal sources of such fields in the body. The studies have demonstrated the primary physicochemical mechanism of the magnetic field action of T. pallidum--human body biological system. A magnetically regulated medium (MRM) is a tool altering the characteristics of the biological material and revealing the new properties of the pathogenic bacterium. This latter fact promotes search for new approaches to the suppression of T. pallidum and, probably, other pathogens' infectious activities. Immediate degradation of T. pallidum in thin MRM suggests a possibility of creating potent antibacterial coating for working elements of medical instruments.
