Abstract:
For a differentiation of clinical forms of ixodic tick-borne borreliosis clinical laboratory assessment of features of the most often defined hemostasis and complete blood count (CBC) indicators is carried out. Ixodic tick-borne borreliosis in the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan is characterized by mainly erythematous forms of a disease with a medium-weight current. At the same time some increase in quantity of platelets was noted that could be caused by irritation of a megakaryocytic sprout of bone marrow in the conditions of infectious process and have compensatory character whereas other indicators of CBC and hemostasis at this clinical form practically didn't change. Not numerous cases of the ixodic tick-borne borreliosis non-erythematous forms clinically proceeded more hard, with significantly more expressed toxicinflammatory syndrome. At the same time it was followed by significant shifts in biochemical parameters, indicators of CBC and hemostasis. The clinical laboratory features of erythematous and non-erythematous forms of ixodic tick-borne borreliosis revealed as a result of the conducted researches reflect character of a course of disease and can serve for assessment of severity, the forecast of the infection and justification of this treatment.
