Introduction. Timely prescribing of proactive cytokine storm therapy in patients with COVID-19 using targeted therapy is an important component of success in the treatment of this disease. However, the blockade of receptors to proinflammatory cytokines, in particular to IL-6, leads to shifts in immunoregulatory processes, the nature of which can determine the effectiveness of the therapy and the course of the postCOVID period of rehabilitation of the patient. The aim of the study - to study the dynamics of the parameters of innate and adaptive immunity in a patient with COVID-19 using an IL-6 receptor anatagonist. Material and methods. 30 hospitalized patients were examined with the diagnosis: COVID-19 coronavirus infection (confirmed), moderate form;complication: bilateral polysegmental pneumonia. The comparison group consisted of practically healthy donors (30 people). The dynamics of laboratory parameters (general clinical, biochemical and immunological) were evaluated against the background of therapy with IL-6 blockers. Results. The presence of lymphopenia in the patient, an increase in the level of CRP, LTK, fibrinogen, lactate, IL-6 require the use of proactive anti-cytokine therapy. The timely administration of these drugs (in particular, the IL-6 receptor inhibitor) has a positive effect on the course of the disease and the recovery of patients. In the immune system, after the introduction of monoclonal antibodies to IL-6 receptors, 2 weeks after administration, there is an increase in the maturation of T-lymphocytes, documented by an increase in the content of T-lymphocytes with helper function with a simultaneous decrease in the number of natural killers, B-lymphocytes and disimmunoglobulinemia of IgA, IgM and IgG classes. Conclusion. The use of monoclonal antibodies to IL-6 receptors in patients with a moderate form of COVID-19 leads to dysregulatory processes in the immune system with their gradual normalization by 2 weeks after administration.

SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of COVID-19, which has a serious effect on the lower respiratory system. COVID-19 causes bilateral pneumonia and acute respiratory syndrome. Smell disorders are important diagnostic symptoms of COVID-19. This symptom is detected in about 90 % of cases. Anosmia may be the first or even the only symptom and may appear before other symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, anosmia can be considered a clinical diagnostic criterion when laboratory tests are not available. The sense of smell is one of the most important senses needed to gain information about the environment. Anosmia can occur in both COVID-19 and allergic rhinitis (AR), which can make it difficult to detect the origin of these symptoms and make a diagnosis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Research results indicate AR is not an aggravating factor for COVID-19. Comorbidity of AR does not affect the reduction of the sense of smell in patients with COVID-19. Patients with AR are recommended to use antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids for relief of symptoms. Control of AR symptoms can help prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It can be assumed that both local and oral corticosteroids at COVID-19 can be regarded as effective in the treatment of olfactory dysfunction. To restore the sense of smell in patients with AR and COVID-19, experts recommend regular olfactory training, which, at the moment, is the only modern scientifically based therapy for restoring post-viral loss of smell. The use of face masks and respirators during a pandemic aims to minimize exposure to allergens and the SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, prolonged wearing of masks and respirators makes breathing even more difficult with rhinitis caused by AR or COVID-19, which reduces the quality of life and worsens the clinical picture.

Introduction. The determination of antibodies against the Spike (S) protein of the novel coronavirus is widely used to confirm current or past infection with SARS-CoV-2, and as an indicator of the effectiveness of vaccination against COVID-19. The most common method for detecting anti-S-antibodies is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which uses a recombinant S-protein. Immunofluorescence followed by flow cytometry provides an alternative approach to detect anti-S-antibodies, where a protein in the native transmembrane conformation is used as the S-antigen. The aim of the study was to develop a method for determining anti-S-antibodies using flow cytometry, and to select the most appropriate method for processing experimental data. Material and methods. The study involved 22 volunteers (7 men and 15 women aged 25 to 70 years, median 48). All volunteers were vaccinated with two doses of the <> vaccine between January and February 2021. Donor sera samples were collected before vaccination with <> and 3 months after vaccination. 5 volunteers had already had a mild form of COVID-19 before the time of vaccination. The remaining 17 volunteers did not encounter the SARS-CoV-2. Antibodies against S-protein were determined by immunofluorescence with registration on a flow cytometer. HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with a plasmid encoding the wild type S-protein which was used as target. Transfection was performed by the calcium phosphate method. Cells were incubated with serially diluted sera and then stained with anti-IgG-PE and anti-IgM-FITC secondary antibodies. The fluorescence level was measured using a flow cytometer. As a measurement result, the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) obtained at 1:18 serum dilution, or the area under the titration curve (area under curve, AUC) was used. Anti-RBD-antibodies were determined using enzyme immunoassay, and virus-neutralizing activity using pseudotyped or surrogate virus-neutralization analysis (pVNA and sVNA). Results. Using the developed method, the formation of anti-S antibodies of the IgG and IgM isotypes was shown 3 months after immunization with the <> vaccine. In a simplified version of the method, the relative concentration of antibodies was determined at a single dilution of the test serum by measuring the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the target cells. More reliable results were obtained by construction the titration curve and calculating the area under the curve (AUC). The results thus obtained correlated well with the detection of anti-RBD antibodies by ELISA, as well as with virus neutralization data in pseudotyped and surrogate assays. Conclusion. Flow cytometry is a convenient method for the simultaneous determination of anti-S antibodies of IgG and IgM isotypes in human serum. The advantages of the method include the fact that the S-protein is presented in a native transmembrane conformation. After minor modification, the established met
