Abstract

Intestinal infections play second fiddle among all infectious diseases, causing significant socioeconomic harm, however in more than 65% of cases their etiology remains unrecoded.

For improvement of early differential diagnostics of acute enteric infections (AEI) of bacterial and viral nature from a perspective of diagnostic utility hematologic, biochemical and immunological blood indicators were analyzed.

Complete physical examination of patients with AEI were made it possible to identify a number of signifi­cant laboratory parameters that allow with great probability to assume viral or bacterial nature of the disease in early stages of infection process development.

Keywords:viral intestinal infections, bacterial intestinal infections, phenotyping of lymphocytes, natural killer cells, EKT-cells
