ABSTRACTA retrospective analysis of 145 medical records from our teaching hospital laboratory showed an overall specificity of greater than 97% for the IgA immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA A) performed on the sera of babies to diagnose congenital toxoplasmosis (CT). These actualized data emphasize the ability of this test to confirm a diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis.

The aim: To perform a retrospective analysis of leptospirosis morbidity in Ivano-Frankivsk region, to give the etiological characteristics of leptospirosis according to clinicallaboratory parameters, to determine the peculiarities of the course, prognostic features. Materials and methods: Data of the State Enterprise “Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Laboratory Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine”, reports and abstracts of medical records of the Regional Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital for 2009-2018 were used. Clinical observation of patients, analysis of general-clinical, biochemical, and serological indices were carried out. Results: The leptospirosis morbidity in Ivano-Frankivsk region during 2009-2018 was higher than in general in Ukraine. Activation of foci of leptospirosis L. pomona and grippotyphosa in 2009-2013, decrease of L. grippotyphosa and increase of L. pomona foci and “new” L. autumnalis, australis, bataviae, cynopteri in 2014-2018 were noted. The emergence of leptospirosis L. autumnalis, which had a high virulence and caused a severe course, was noted. Conclusions: The leptospirosis morbidity in the Ivano-Frankivsk region over the past 10 years has exceeded the incidence in Ukraine and varied within 0.62-2.2 per 100,000. During the last 5 years, the serological structure has changed: L. pomona (27.7%) prevailed, L. grippotyphosa decreased (2.1%), L. bataviae and cynopteri, autumnalis increased (by 8.5%). Seasonality is shifted in the autumn-winter period (November-February) (L. grippotyphosa, australis, pomona, canicola). According to forecasts, leptospirosis induced by L. autumnalis was most adverse. Leptospiroses of serogroups L. australis, bataviae, cynopteri had a mild course, there were fewer complications.

Objective: To study the prevalence and severity of possible drug-drug interactions in the department of pediatrics.Methods: Case records of the in-patients of the pediatrics department from the medical records department were included and the records of the ambulatory patients were excluded from the study. All the collected cases were subjected to check for the drug-drug interactions by using the software micromedex 2.0 and the interactions were categorized based on the severity into minor, moderate and major.Results: A total of 142 cases were screened for possible drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and among them 76 cases were observed to be with possible DDIs.  The prevalence was found to be 53.5% in this study. Majority of the cases with possible DDIs were observed to be in females. Results of the age wise categorization revealed that majority of the possible DDIS were observed in children (2-12 y) followed by the infants (1 mo–2 y). The drug combinations amikacin+ampicillin, paracetamol+phenytoin and ofloxacin+ondansetron were found to be the frequently observed possible DDIs of minor, moderate and major severities respectively.Conclusion: Majority of the possible DDIs were of moderate severity followed by major. Clinical pharmacists should take the responsibility in assisting the pediatricians for screening the possible DDIs in the prescriptions there by preventing them and providing a better pharmaceutical care for the pediatric population.

Purpose. To identify the clinical course of the «risk-forms» of peripheral vitreochorioretinal dystrophy (PVCRD) depending on sex, age, type and degree of refraction in children, as well as to establish the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment of PVCRD in childhood. Methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of pediatric patients who underwent peripheral prophylactic laser retinal coagulation (PPLRC) regarding the «risk-forms» of PVHRD at the ophthalmology department of MAUZ Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 1 from 2017 to 2019 was performed. 241 childr (293 eyes) aged 7 to 17 years (mean age 14.1 ± 2.4 years) were operated. Results. PVCRD in children is asymptomatic and it is detected at the age of 7 to 17 years, regardless of gender, the peak of occurrence is 10–14 years. The most common type of PVCRD is «lattice» dystrophy. PVCRD is predominant in low degree myopia. Quite a lot of cases of PVCRD detected in emmetropic refraction, as well as in hyperopic refraction and combined astigmatism. Conclusions. A thorough examination of the periphery of the fundus is necessary in all children, regardless of age and refraction. The parameters of laser coagulation in children differ from those in adults. Given the characteristics of childhood, the success of the operation depends on the correct preoperative preparation, including psychological preparation, contact of the surgeon with the child during the operation. Key words: peripheral dystrophy; ophthalmoscopy; mydriasis; laser coagulation; children. vitreochorioretinal
