PROBLEMS OF REGIONAL PATHOLOGY. ISSUE II. HERMORRHAGIC FEVER IN UZBEKISTAN,
Abstract
One of the most important achievements in the recent study of problems of regional epidemiology and pathology is represented by advances in the theory of hemorrhagic fevers occurring in the USSR. These advances are due exclusively to work by Soviet investigators who originally discovered this type of infection and established that its causative factor is a filterable virus. They also established that the virus is transmitted by ticks. The clinical aspects, microbiology, and epidemiology of the Uzbekistan hemorrhagic fever have been established. The data which have been accumulated will prove of value to the practical physician in improving the methods of diagnosis and therapy and in helping to apply effective methods for the prophylaxis of this disease.
