[The immunodiagnosis of tick-borne encephalitis by using the indirect immune rosette formation reaction].

200 patients suspected for tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) were examined by the method of the indirect immune rosette-formation test. In 70.15% of patients with the serologically confirmed diagnosis of TBE immune lymphocytes were detected as early as on day 1 of examination. The level of rosette formation was higher in the meningeal form of the disease. Rosette-forming lymphocytes were also detected in 24.06% of patients with the serologically unconfirmed diagnosis of TBE. The test is proposed for the early diagnosis of TBE.

[The epidemiological patterns of rubella and the ways to improve epidemiological surveillance].

The retrospective epidemiological analysis of rubella morbidity in Perm has revealed that the epidemic process of rubella is revived every 2-3 years in winter and spring. Children of preschool age in organized groups are mainly affected; 42.5% of these children have no specific antibodies. Among adults, the risk group consists mainly of women aged 20-29 years. The intensity of the epidemic process of rubella in organized groups of children has been found to depend on the general level of collective immunity. The hemagglutination inhibition test with the use of rubella antigenic diagnosticum may be recommended for practical use in the system of epidemiological surveillance for the differential diagnosis of rubella with a view to distinguish it from other infections, the determination of the scope of the virus circulation among different groups of the population and the timely diagnosis of rubella in pregnant women.
