[The diagnostic value of determining Yersinia antigens in biological substrates of a patient].
The authors consider the time course changes in the elimination of Yersinia antigens with biological substances in various clinical presentation of yersiniosis. Altogether 101 patients aged 15-58 have been examined. It is established that Yersinia antigens are the most frequent finding in the blood irrespective of the disease form (81-90% of cases); in the gastrointestinal pattern they are more commonly identified in the faeces (63% of cases), in generalized cases the antigens occur in the urine and faeces of patients in 43 and 49% of cases, respectively. Evaluation of changes in elimination of Yersinia antigens from the body provides a good evidence for case prognosis which is of particular importance for potential cases with protracted and chronic forms of the disease as well as for evaluation of the antibacterial treatment efficacy.
