To study the prognostic significance of hematologic indices: neutrophils/lymphocytes (N/L), platelets/lymphocytes (P/L) and lymphocytes/C-reactive protein (L/CRP) in relation to the complicated course of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), as well as their correlation with COVID-19 course severity indices and endothelial dysfunction marker sVCAM-1. ⋯ Hematologic indices N/L, P/L and L/CRP are correlated with clinical, laboratory and instrumental characteristics of COVID-19 severity, presence of endothelial dysfunction (P/L and L/CRP) and allow predicting the development of cytokine storm (N/L and L/CRP).

To study the adverse reactions that develop as a result of complex antibiotic therapy in patients with non-tuberculous lung mycobacterial (NTML) and to determine methods for their elimination without compromising the effectiveness of NTML treatment. ⋯ The incidence of ADR development remains high when complex AMT is administered to patients with NTML. The patient's comorbid background is the main risk factor for the development of ADR when prescribing multicomponent AMT. A multivariate analysis of the effectiveness of treatment in NTML patients showed comparable data among patients taking complex AMT and receiving only alternative therapies. The success of NTML treatment depends on a comprehensive personalized approach.

Case Reports
[Combined echinococcosis of the lungs, heart and liver: clinic, diagnosis and treatment. Case report].
Echinococcosis or hidatid disease is a parasitic illness which is caused by the most common pathogens Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis and E. oligarthrus. When the agent gets into the organism, it penetrates the organ and forms a cyst. ⋯ The localization of cysts in several organs simultaneously is a very rare case. The article aims to demonstrate a patient who had a combined echinococcosis of the lungs, heart and liver.
