The World Health Organization announced on May 4, 2023 that coronavirus infection is no longer a global emergency, but despite this, it proposed a strategy for 2023-2025 that includes the definition of immunization principles by each country, the need for case registrations and surveillance behind the virus. The review article presents data on high-risk groups for a severe course of a SARS-CoV-2 and new approaches to vaccination and revaccination recommended by WHO on depending on risk factors in patients and circulating new strains of the virus.

The literature review highlights modern ideas about the pathogenesis, pathomorphology, and clinical manifestations of central nervous system damage in patients with HIV infection, and also touches on the problems of diagnosis and treatment of these opportunistic infections. Particular attention should be paid to patients with severe immunodeficiency (CD4+T-lymphocyte count < 200 cl/ml) due to the high risk of secondary diseases of the central nervous system. Along with the etiological verification of opportunistic diseases of the central nervous system, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain is important at the initial stage of diagnosis, with the help of which it is possible to identify changes in the brain substance characteristic of certain pathogens. In addition to the basic etiotropic therapy of opportunistic infections in HIV patients, effective antiretroviral therapy and its index of penetration into the central nervous system play a crucial role.

The aim of the review: to present up-to-date scientifically based information about the laboratory parameters of patients associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and internal organ damage. Materials and methods: full-text publications of clinical, randomized and cohort studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses from scientific databases PubMed, Elsevier, Scopus, Google Scholar, E-library for the period from 2019 to 2022 were analyzed. Results. Specific biomarkers were identified, including inflammatory and immunological parameters (C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, IL6), hematological (number of lymphocytes and neutrophils, NLR, D-dimer, ferritin, RDW), myocardial (troponin, creatinekinase-MB, myoglobin), hepatic (AST, ALT, total bilirubin, albumin) and characterizing lung injury (KL-6), which can be used for risk stratification, as prognostic biomarkers of adverse clinical consequences, including death in patients with COVID-19. The studies demonstrated new biomarkers of inflammatory and systemic manifestations of COVID19: procalcitonin, calprotectin and presepsin.

This clinical case describes the manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) against the backdrop of severe COVID-19 infection in a teenage patient. The patient’s examination data, medical history, and available scientific literature on the relationship between COVID-19 and leukemia manifestation were studied and analyzed. COVID-19 infection in the context of AML was severe, with respiratory failure and involvement of more than 90% of the lungs according to computed tomography data. Changes observed in peripheral blood did not have specific alterations and only indirectly indicated an unfavorable premorbid background. This clinical case reflects the likelihood of the simultaneous presence of COVID-19 and other acute severe illnesses.

The article describes a clinical case of serous meningitis in a patient with confirmed hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Despite the moderate-severe course of the disease with moderate hemorrhagic syndrome, the patient had the development of acute renal failure with the simultaneous occurrence of a rare complication – inflammation of the meningeal membranes caused by hantavirus.

Aim: To identify regional epidemiological features of dengue fever and substantiate approaches to conducting epidemiological surveillance for this infection taking into account the regional features of its distribution and risk factors affecting its formation. Materials and methods: Retrospective epidemiological analysis of dengue incidence in the provinces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam from 2017 to 2022. To conduct the epidemiological analysis of dengue incidence, a free version of the GIS Axioms (ГИС Аксиомы) program and the Google Earth application were used. Results: It was noted that cases of dengue fever were registered in all 63 provinces of the country, however, the dynamics of incidence levels had wide spatial and temporal ranges. Excepting Hanoi (189.6 0/0000), dengue incidence in the northern provinces are lower than those in the southern provinces. The highest average long-term incidence of dengue fever was observed in Da Nang (659.8 0 / 0000 ), Binh Duong (623.3 0 / 0000 ), Quang Binh (565.5 0 / 0000 ), Ba Ria-Vung Tau (554.6 0 / 0000 ) and Khanh Hoa (544.8 0 / 0000 ). The results of a comparative analysis of dengue incidence and the main factors influencing it in the adjacent, the incidences of dengue fever of which are significantly different from each other, are shown. The application of geoinformation systems for epidemiological analysis has been demonstrated. It has been established that the distribution of the population of Vietnam differs greatly between the administrative regions of the country, and the use of population density for epidemiological analysis and forecasting of the epidemiological situation of infectious diseases, including dengue fever, can lead to incorrect results. Conclusion: The epidemiological situation of dengue fever in Vietnam is characterized by high incidence rates, their wide ranges of spatial and temporal variability, and geographical heterogeneity. The use of GIS technologies is one of the promising approaches for epidemiological analysis and monitoring of dengue fever, as well as other infectious diseases.

A description of a laboratory confirmed clinical case of generalized Varicella Zoster infection in a patient with lymphogranulomatosis after bone marrow transplantation is presented. Detection of the Varicella Zoster virus in biological material was carried out by real-time PCR using the RealBest DNA VZV test system manufactured by Vector-BEST, Russian Federation. Isolation of viral DNA from biological material was performed using the ArtRNA MiniSpin kit (ArtBioTech, Belarus) or QIAamp DNA mini kit (QIAGEN, Germany). The disease had an atypically severe course with a multiorgan lesion, represented not only by lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, but also by the development of encephalitis, myocarditis, and pneumonia. The disease was characterized by an acute onset, with a pronounced intoxication syndrome, signs of pancreatitis with the appearance of a widespread vesicular rash on the trunk and extremities, prone to fusion, located, including on the scalp, on the feet and palms. The disease was complicated by a secondary bacterial infection, in connection with which the patient received both antiviral treatment and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. The virus was assigned to clade 3 (or E2 genotype according to the old classification), the same genotype as the viruses circulating in Minsk. This case is the first described case of generalized VZV infection in the Republic of Belarus, confirmed by laboratory using molecular genetic methods.
