How to reach Visus Medical: for patients from Azerbaijan
Для жителей Baku характерна кавказская эпидемиология паразитарных заболеваний — контакт с домашними животными, сырые продукты с рынка; мы учитываем это при разборе анамнеза и выборе схемы лечения.
Если вы обращаетесь from Baku по гельминтозу или эхинококкозу, принесите результаты УЗИ и серологии из местных лабораторий — мы сопоставим их с клиническими данными Кавказского региона.
Из Баку в Ташкент выполняются прямые рейсы AZAL и других авиакомпаний — около 2,5–3 часов; от аэропорта Ташкента до Visus Medical в Нурафшоне на такси около часа.
Гражданам Азербайджана для краткосрочного визита в Узбекистан обычно достаточно загранпаспорта; медицинское приглашение от клиники выдаём по запросу для подтверждения цели поездки.

What is rheumatic fever? — approach for Azerbaijan
If you live in Azerbaijan, we can offer a hybrid format: remote stages + in-person checkpoints. Rheumatic fever (acute rheumatic fever) is a systemic inflammatory disease that develops after streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). It mainly affects the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system.
Causes and pathogenesis: what patients from Azerbaijan should know
We advise patients from Azerbaijan not to interrupt the course — even when feeling better, checkpoints matter. Rheumatic fever develops as a complication of streptococcal infection. We advise patients from Azerbaijan to track their progress systematically. A rheumatic attack may begin 1–3 weeks after tonsillitis.
- Genetic predisposition
- Frequent streptococcal infections
- Incorrect or incomplete treatment of tonsillitis
- Hypothermia, dampness
Symptoms of rheumatic fever
- Heart area pain
- Shortness of breath on exertion
- Palpitations
- Cardiac rhythm disturbances
- Acute pain in large joints
- Swelling and redness
- "Migratory" pain pattern
- Limited movement
- Fever up to 38–39°C
- General weakness, malaise
- Increased sweating
