Borreliosis after sucking ticks is an acute problem in the world. People do not go to doctors after that often, which leads to the development of various complications. Thrombosis of veins of various localization can be one of them. ⋯ Anticoagulation, doxycycline, detoxification therapy reduced pain and normalized temperature and inflammation markers. Vein thrombosis was not detected at the control tomography after 2 weeks. Despite that the combination of thrombosis and borreliosis is rare, it is necessary to screen for Borrelia antigens in patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis and fever.

The primary objective of this study was to describe clinical, virusological and immunological characteristics of hospitalised HIV-infected patients, who had different stages of the disease. ⋯ Clinical state of HIV-infected hospitalised patients has been described and the results of quantitive determination of HIV RNA in blood and liquor, absolute and relative CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes concentrations and immunoregulatory index in patients in various disease stages, including patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been presented. Statistically significant correlation between blood and liquor HIV RNA load as well as between viral load and cellular immune markers in hospitalised HIV-infected patients has been found.

Today, there is no complete clarity about the pathogenetic mechanisms of the hepatic decompensation in patients with HCV-cirrhosis during the course of direct-acting antiviral (DAAs) therapy. The current article describes several clinical observations of decompensation (with the development of liver failure and portal hypertension) in cirrhotic patients during the course of DAAs-therapy of hepatitis C. The authors present contemporary views and their own assumptions about the possible mechanisms of the hepatic decompensation associated with DAAs-therapy in patients with liver cirrhosis.

To estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and MODY diabetes as well as the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) components for these types of diabetes in the young population of the city of Novosibirsk. ⋯ In 2013-2017 years a population survey was conducted of a random representative sample of the population of 25-45 years of both sexes, residents of one of the typical districts of Novosibirsk. WHO criteria (1999-2013) were used for the diagnosis of diabetes: fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol / l after an 8-hour fasting. Also group with DM2 included persons with a fasting blood glucose level.
