[Characteristics of the morphology of peripheral blood erythrocytes of healthy children 1 to 6 years of age (scanning electron microscopy data)].

The authors provide classifications of the forms of peripheral red blood cells examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The authors' working classification is presented in which the following types of red blood cells are distinguished: discocytes; transitory, namely, echinocytes, stomatocytes, spheroids; spherocytes, reticulocytes, deformed, target-like, bifoveal hypochromic, elliptocytes, destructive. SEM was used to study capillary blood red blood cells in 30 healthy children aged 1 to 6 years. The ratio of the morphological types of red blood cells in this group children is presented.

[Increased sensitivity to Candida in patients with bronchial asthma].

As many as 86 children aged 3 to 14 years with bronchial asthma were examined using mycological, immunological and allergological methods including the prick-test, basophil degranulation test (direct Shelley's test) and leukocyte migration inhibition test with Candida antigen. As far as the patients living in the vicinity of a microbiological factory are concerned, hypersensitivity to Candida was detected in 83.3% of cases, primarily that of the delayed type (37%). In children with verified candidiasis, hypersensitivity to Candida fungi was also detectable in 83.3% of cases, but in the majority of patients (47%), it was of the immediate type. In the control group, allergic candidiasis was diagnosed in 20% of cases. Clinically, bronchial asthma associated with allergic candidiasis was characterized by refractory, lingering obstructive bronchitis amenable to antimycotic drugs.
