RESUMO
The results of the molecular-epidemiological analysis of the HIV-1 variants circulating in Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk (Russian Far East) were presented. In Blagoveshchensk HIV-1 IDU-A variants were dominated (92.5%), similar to the regions of the European part of Russia. In Khabarovsk the heterogeneity of circulating HIV-1 variants was noted. In addition to IDU-A variants (66.0%), the strains of subtype B (12.6%), C (4.4%) and recombinant strain form CRF02_AG (17.0%) were identified. Using the phylogenetic analysis method the version of the penetration of HIV-1 variants from China and Japan was not supported.

Clinico-epidemiological analysis and etiological verification of the outbreak of respiratory infection among school children in a rural district of the Khabarovsk territory, registered in spring 1997, were made. According to clinical signs, one-third of the patients had whooping cough, while the rest of the children exhibited the signs of respiratory infection with the symptoms of longering bronchitis. A half of the children had not been vaccinated against whooping cough, as they had been given injections of adsorbed DT vaccine with reduced antigen content. Etiologically, the diagnosis of whooping cough was confirmed in 57% of the patients with 47.4% of them having Bordetella pertussis monoinfection and 52.6% having mixed infection, mainly in combination with chlamydiosis. Whooping cough took an abnormal course under these circumstances. Treatment with erythromycin produced a good effect.
