title: [The syndromal approach to the diagnosis of toxic food poisonings].
abstract: The authors criticize the nosological principle of the diagnosis of toxic infections and believe that in a vast majority of cases such diagnosis must be based on syndromes. The only exceptions are cases of mass outbreaks and hospital infections. The definition of alimentary toxic infection is given, the difficulties of their clinical diagnosis and the ways to overcome these difficulties are indicated.
