title: [Medico-social characteristics of patients with nasal and paranasal sinus pathology associated with chlamydial infection].
abstract: The present work was designed to analyse the results of a questionnaire study including 104 patients with acute and chronic pathology of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses associated with chlamydial infection and in its absence. It is shown that either group, regardless of infection, is dominated by patients at high medical and social risk of health conditions. Respondents with confirmed chlamydial infection were found to be distinctive for the poorer health status and subject to a broader range of negative social factors.
