DIAGNOSTIC PROBLEMS OF ENTEROVIRUS INFECTION IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC ON THE PATTERN OF THE REPUBLIC INFECTIOUS HOSPITAL

The article presents the current state of knowledge of enterovirus infection in the Kyrgyz Republic. Over the past 25 years, enterovirus infection has been studied not as a whole pathology, but only some of its types, mainly in children. According to the Republican Infectious Diseases Hospital in Bishkek, a retrospective analysis of the incidence of enterovirus infection over 10 years and enteroviral meningitis for the period 2015-2018 was carried out. Various clinical types of enterovirus infection (exanthema, myalgia, diarrhea, vesicular pharyngitis and stomatitis) are registered in the Chui region, and serous meningitis is significant in their structure. 102 case histories of children hospitalized with a diagnosis of enteroviral meningitis were analyzed. The diagnosis was based on clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data. In the age aspect, specific pathognomic symptoms of serous meningitis are described, as well as its combination with other types of enterovirus infection (upper respiratory tract catarrh, exanthema, gastroenteritis, herpangina). The need for differential diagnosis of enterovirus infection with other infectious and non-infectious pathology using specific methods for diagnosing this infection is shown.
