Abstract

Endogenous intoxication syndrome is an important link in the pathogenesis of many infectious diseases. The role of low and medium molecular weight substances and oligopeptides acting as indicators of endogenous intoxication syndrome in the pathogenesis of varicella was studied, depending on the period of the disease, the severity of the course and the presence of complications. Based on this goal, 125 patients with varicella aged 18 to 49 years were examined. Determination of the content of substances of low and medium molecular weight in biological body fluids (blood plasma, red blood cells and urine) was carried out by the method of M. Ya.Malakhova (1995) on a spectrophotometer SF-46. The Lowru (1951) method was used to determine the level of oligopeptides in body fluids. The maximum level of substances of low and medium molecular weight was observed in patients with a complicated course of varicella during the height of the disease, as well as in patients with a severe course of the disease during the height. When determining the oligopeptides, the highest values were also obtained at the height of the disease in the severe course, as well as in the complicated course at admission. During the examination, the dependence of the studied indicators on the period of the disease, the severity, as well as the presence of complications was revealed. Thus, the most pronounced changes in the level of low and medium molecular weight substances and oligopeptides were observed in severe, and the least – in the mild course of varicella in all the studied media. In patients with developed complications, the disease was more severe, while the changes in the studied parameters were more pronounced.
