The functional state of cardiovascular system in patients with different forms of brucellosis

It is known that damage organs and systems largely determines the course and outcome of brucellosis, with one of the most frequently involved in the pathological process in the brucellosis infection is the cardiovascular system. The highest incidence of brucellosis in the Republic of Dagestan occur among those aged 15-39 years, the share of this age group accounts for 75 % of all cases of brucellosis in the Republic, which determines a great social and economic costs of brucellosis infection. The article presents the results of a study of the functional state of the cardiovascular system in 222 patients with brucellosis defeat of the cardiovascular system at the age of 16 to 45 years, of which 110 (49.5 %) patients with acute brucellosis, 112 (50.4 %) patients chronic brucellosis. The diagnosis of brucellosis infection was put up on the basis of clinical, laboratory and instrumental complex examination including, including serological tests Heddlsona and Wright, as well as an intradermal allergy test Burne. Identified clinical laboratory, ECG changes and echocardiographic data suggest that it is expedient to use diagnosicheskih complex investigations: Holter ECG, echocardiogram and determination of cardiac enzymes that allow the early period to identify heart disease as well as provide a timely opportunity to assess the severity of of the disease, identify the symptoms of latent myocardial damage, to decide on the necessary treatment, including etiotropic and pathogenic treatment.
