EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE ZOONOTIC INFECTIONS IN VARNA REGION IN 1990-1997

Some epidemiological features of the zoonotic infections in Varna region in 1990-1997 were investigated. The analysis was based on the data of the officially registered incidence rate. A remarkable increase of the number of cases with Lyme borreliosis, boutonneous fever and other diseases in comparison with that in some previous years was estblished.

Nosocomial infections - registration, nosological and etiological structure

Nosocomial infections (NI) gain importance in medical practice due to the increase of the invasive remedial and diagnostic handling, raise in the rate of survival of patients, increase in the average age of the population in the coun try (2,4). In our practice, we have experienced how costly a treatment of a patient with added NI could be (3). The situation has further complicated by the adaptation of new nosocomial pathogens and their increase resistance of antibiotics. The absence of preferred policy from Health ministry and Health-ensure cash in regards to NI and the lack of clinical paths lead to decline in the interest of the medical personnel and their anticipation in the anti-epidemi cal battle.Scripta Scientifica Medica 2009; 41(2): 183-185

PECULIARITIES OF THE EPIDEMIC PROCESS OF EPIDEMIC PAROTITIS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MASS IMMUNOPROPHYLAXIS
