title: [The rheological properties of the blood in patients with tick-borne typhus].
abstract: Rheological characteristics of blood were studied in 50 patients with north Asian tick typhoid varying in severity and duration. In addition to standard diagnosis--verification tests, blood macrorheological and microrheological examinations were made (blood viscosity, hematocrit and red cell deformability and aggregation, respectively). It was found that both in the acute disease and recovery there were changes in blood and plasma viscosity red cell hardness. This suggests introduction of rheoprotectors and desaggregants into combined therapy of the above typhoid.
