[A comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of methods for serological sampling examinations].

Blood serum samples of 3,448 schoolchildren of grades 1-10 in 35 schools of Dushanbe were examined in the passive hemagglutination test in 1988 and 1989. The proportion of persons unprotected against diphtheria and tetanus was estimated by common methods in different kinds of selective serologic survey: mass screening (43.4-83.0%), testing in selected groups reduced 2, 3 and 5 times, cluster sampling. The reduction of the groups to be examined (from 3,033 to 250 persons) was not accompanied by essential changes (t < 2) in the characteristics of mass immunity against diphtheria and tetanus. The cluster method was shown to be highly reliable also in the study of population immunity.

[Epidemiologic surveillance of diphtheria and measles].

The epidemiological surveillance of diphtheria and measles makes it possible to evaluate the actual coverage of different groups of population with immunization and the state of this protection, to determine the tendencies of the epidemic processes of the afore-mentioned infections, to assess the efficacy of prophylactic and antiepidemic measures, and to develop well-grounded recommendations aimed at preventing the formation of foci of group infections and the lethal outcomes of diphtheria and measles.

[Study of the reasons for a decrease in the inoculability of diphtheria bacteria].

It was shown that the seeding efficacy of diphtheria bacilli depended not only on the state of the epidemic process, but also on the correct methodical approach to the examination. A combination of the qualitative and epidemiological choice of the groups of population for bacteriological examination with the use of blood tellurite media permitted to increase the efficacy of investigations, with a considerable reduction of the number of analyses.
