[Manifestations of angina morbidity as a reflection of the self-regulation of the epidemic process in streptococcal infection].
The data on the application of the principles of the self regulation of the epidemic process for understanding the annual dynamics of angina morbidity in organized groups of adults are presented. In this case the reservation of group A streptococci occurs in chronic (resident) carriers, whose proportion was found to be 15.8 +/- 2.6%. The epidemic manifestations of morbidity are regulated mainly by the concentration of newly arrived members in the groups, i. e. by the size of the stratum providing the optimum conditions for the parasitization of the streptococcal population. The annual morbidity levels depend essentially not only on the heterogeneity of the group members with respect to their susceptibility to streptococcal infection, but also on the conditions of their accommodation, affecting the transmission of droplet infection. The role of individual risk factors in the variation of the quantitative characteristics of the angina morbidity manifestations under study is calculated.
