To study changes in proinflammatory markers and mediators in septic shock in patients with hematologic malignancy (HM). ⋯ PCT is a specific marker of a severe infection. Rapid elimination from the blood of TNF and IL-6 makes them inadequate in sepsis diagnosis. Endotoxinemia aggravates the patients condition. Positive LAL-test results were obtained in gram-negative and fungal infections.

To examine diagnostic value of antibodies to various HCV antigens in patients with acute and chronic HCV-infection. ⋯ Despite different frequency of anti-core, anti-NS4, anti-NS5 detection in patients with icteric AHC and patients with chronic HCV-infection and high AlAT, their high incidence rate in this or that group and absence of differences by the spectrum of the studied antibodies do not allow the fact of their detection to be a diagnostic marker differentiating acute HCV-infection with chronic one.
