RESUMEN
The results of the virological identification of the Chikungunya fever case in Moscow (September, 2013) in an Indonesian visitor are presented. The clinic, electron microscopy, and molecular genetic data are discussed. The Ghikungunya virus (CHIKV) strain CHIKVILEIV-Moscow/1/2013 belonging to the Asian genotype (ID GenBank KF872195) was deposited into the Russian State Collection of viruses (GKV 1239; 18.11.2013).

AIM: Analysis of clinical cases of tick-borne spotted fever (TSF) group rickettsiosis in 2005 - 2010. MATERIALS AND METHODS: General clinical, biochemical and serological parameters were determined in 10 tick-borne spotted fever group rickettsiosis patients who had visited various geographical regions of the World. RESULTS: TSF group rickettsiosis diagnostic criteria, optimal serological diagnostics timing were determined. Possible diagnostic errors, features of serological diagnostics and antibacterial therapy of this nosologic form are discussed. CONCLUSION: Indication for TSF examination are primarily epidemiologic including tick attachment indication and clinical data. Serological studies are positive only in 3 - 4 weeks after the onset of the infection and thus can not be used for early diagnostics.
