[Experience of using bacteriophages and bitsillin-5 to reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases of bacterial ethiology in military personnel].

The authors defined epidemiological efficacy and safety of the use of bacteriophages(streptococcal, staphylococcal, piobakferiophage multipartial) and bitsillin-5 to reduce tonsillitis morbidityand other respiratory diseases with bacterial etiology in groups of servicemen during their formationagainst increase of seasonal morbidity. The results of the use of these preventive agents were evaluatedby a comparative analysis of this disease in experimental and control groups. In total 510 healthy conscriptswere involved into the study. The effectiveness of prophylactic use of bacteriophages and bitsillin-5, whichprovided a reduction in the incidence of respiratory infections of bacterial ethiology, tonsillitis, and otherrespiratory diseases is showed. Recommendations on the choice of drugsfor the prevention of these infections,methods and organization of their application in organized groups are given.

[From Leonardo Da Vinci to present days; from the history of antiplague costume].

As a prototype of the antiplague costume can be considered a special clothing, which physicians in medieval Europe wear for protection in plague nidus. Inventor of the first antiplague costume is considered to be a French doctor Charles de Lorme (1619). Much later, in 1878, a Russian professor Pashutin V V offered to use a costume, which looked like a hermetically sealed "bag" with a special breathing device aimed at protection of medical staff. Later, professor O.I. Dogel's respirator became well-known (1889). At the beginning of 20th century as part of the antiplague costume was used a charcoal filter mask, invented by Zelinsky N.D. Requirements to order the use of modern means of individual protection when working in nidus of especially dangerous infections identified sanitary-epidemiological rules, which reflect issues of laboratory workers working and protective clothing, respiratory protection, and view, especially operation, the procedure of putting on, removing and disinfecting antiplague costumes, pneumocostumes, pneumohelmets, isolation suits, gas-protection boxes, etc.

[Experience of the use of complex liquid pyo bacteriophage as a mean of prophylaxis of the acute tonsillitis in a military collective].

Experience of the use of complex liquid pyo bacteriophage as a mean of prophylaxis of the acute tonsilitis in a military collective. In 2015-2016 was evaluated the effectiveness of an integrated liquid pyo bacteriophage in the outbreak of acute tonsillitis among conscripts as a mean of emergency prevention, reduction of disease incidence and communication prevention. The authors have studied an epidemiological efficacy and safety of the drug , and determined an accuracy of the cause-and-effect link on the epidemic process. Based on the results of the study, it has been concluded that the use of the complex liquid pyo bacteriophage in acute tonsillitis focuses for emergency prevention of diseases is effective, has been proved a significant reduction of military morbidity. The use of bacteriophages, including pyo bakteriopahge, is a promising direction of prevention of infectious diseases of bacterial aetiology in military units.
