Research

Main interest

• the role of bacteria in inflammatory and allergic reactions
• hospital infections, infections by MRSA, Helicobacter pylori, Chlamydia trachomatis
• genetic studies in atopy and marital infertility concerning HLA class l and II genes

Current research projects

• the liberation of histamine caused by endo- and exogenous bacteria and analysis of basocyte inhibiting factors - genetic risk factors in bronchial asthma and bronchitis with bronchospasm: analysis of HLA class 1 and II antigens
• characterization of MRSA strains (isolated in hospital infections)
• the role of Helicobacter pylori in infections of the stomach and duodenum

Research methods used

• fluorimetric method for assaying histamine agglutination method for assaying antibodies histamine liberation tests of endo- and exogenous bacteria direct and indirect immunofluorescence
• two-stage mielocytotoxic Mittal's test for studying HLA CLASS I and II antigens

Future research plans

• immunological mechanisms of bacterial autovaccines in various atopic and non-atopic allergic diseases
• diagnosis utilizing molecular biology methods in bacteriology and virology, for transplantations and scientific research

Medical services

• clinical specialties: microbiology, immunology, allergology
• special laboratory and diagnostics facilities: autovaccines for trea- ting various bacterial infections, atopic and non-atopic allergy; microbiological diagnosis of HeMicokacter pylori and Chlamydia trachomatis; analysis of HLA class I and II antigens; studies of serum antibodies using Kep-2 cell line; immunological profile: percentage of CD19, CD3, CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes, immune regulation index CD4/CD8, level of complement components C4 and C3; migration inhibition test of mononuclear cells
