Для пациентов из Таджикистана важно: горный климат Душанбе и сельских районов республики — один из факторов высокой заболеваемости эхинококкозом. Мы учитываем это при сборе анамнеза.
Часть пациентов из Таджикистана едет через Самарканд автобусом — дешевле, но дольше (7–10 часов). Мы подберём удобный слот под любой маршрут.

What is rheumatic fever?
Rheumatic fever (acute rheumatic fever) is a systemic inflammatory disease that develops after streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis). Evidence from Tajikistan shows early therapy yields better outcomes. It mainly affects the heart, joints, skin, and nervous system.

- Hypothermia, dampness
