title: Application of a fuzzy model of making a decision to choose a medicine in the case of symptoms prevailing after the treatment.
abstract: Fuzzy set theory has introduced many auxiliary methods into medical problems. One of the attempts was the fixing of the optimal level of the drug action in the case when clinical symptoms retreat completely after the treatment [1,5]. In many morbid processes, however, there occurs problem of symptoms prevailing to some extent after the course of the medication process improving too high or too low indices of the measurable symptom. Different medicines applied have many a time an effect on the same symptoms and it is sometimes difficult to choose uniquely that therapeutic remedy which brings the best results in the treatment of all the symptoms typical of the given diagnosis. A fuzzy model of decision making is to make it easier to choose a drug which acts optimally in the case of symptoms not retreating to the full after the treatment.
