Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) represent a group of similar clinical entities contagious constitutional diseases, caused by four different types of RNA viruses: Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Arenaviridae i Filoviridae. These diseases proceed with high fever and damage of the circulatory system leading to homeostasis disorders, commonly accompanied by symptoms of hemorrhagic diathesis. VHFs are typically transmitted through infection vectors (mosquito) or through direct physical contact with infectious material. West Nile fever is the disease which is caused by West Nile virus from the Flaviviridae family. It begins flu-like symptoms, then it appears maculopapular rash and lymphadenopathy. At the most cases the symptoms retreat idiopathically. This disease can proceed as West Nile Neurological Disease in 1% of infected. The article presents three diseases, which can be present in tropical climate such as: Ebola hemorrhagic fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, West Nile fever.

An immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody capture enzyme immunoassay (MAC-ELISA) of sera from 153 patients with acute febrile diseases of unknown origin verified 60 cases of infections imported from tropical and subtropical countries to Russia, including 46 cases of dengue fever, 8 cases of Chikungunya fever, 4 cases of West Nile fever, and 2 cases of Neapolitan mosquito fever. The cases of dengue fever were associated with a visit to Indonesia (n = 22), Thailand (n = 11), Vietnam (n = 3), India (n = 3), Venezuela (n = 2), Singapore (n = 1), Sri Lanka (n = 1), Malaysia (n = 1), Costa Rica (n = 1), and Dominican Republic (n = 1). Seven dengue fever patients who had returned from Indonesia (n = 5), Thailand (n = 1), and Costa Rica (n = 1) were observed to have hemorrhagic syndrome. The patients with Chikungunya fever returned after a journey to the Maldive Islands (n = 2), Reunion Island (n = 1), India (n = 1), Indonesia (n = 2), and Singapore (n = 1). West Nile fever infection occurred in India (n = 1), Indonesia (n = 1), Costa Rica (n = 1), and Venezuela (n = 1) and mosquito fever cases were registered in the Malta and Majorca islands.

Problematic issues on creation and practical introduction of specific immune biologic preparations for therapy and prophylaxis of natural-foci arbovirus infections - West Nile fever (WNF) and Crimean hemorrhagic fever (CHF), that are not available until now, are examined. Persistent natural foci of WNF and CHF with epidemic manifestations have formed in Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts of Russia. Markers of Wfest Nile virus are being detected in central regions of Russia and Siberia, and the presence of fraction of population immune to this infection is also detected. Analysis of literature sources that has been carried out forms a theoretical basis for creation of novel specific preparations for etiotropic therapy and prophylaxis ofWNF and CHF. Use of blood from healthy donors with sufficiently high titers of class G immunoglobulins residing in certain subjects of Russian Federation in natural foci territories with the most intensive epidemic process is possible as raw material.

Purpose: analysis of the arbovirus infections incidence in the south of the European part of the Russian Federation in 2015–2019.Materials and methods. Data from statistical documentation (epidemiological examination of the infectious disease cases, reports on the arbovirus infections incidence) reported by Departments of Rospotrebnadzor to Scientific and Methodological Center for monitoring pathogens of infectious and parasitic diseases of 1–3 risk groups for subjects of the North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts were analyzed. The obtained data were processed using Microsoft Excel 2010 program.Results. In the south of the European part of the Russian Federation Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), West Nile fever (WNF), tick-borne viral encephalitis and dengue fever cases are registered annually.An expansion of the territory with registered epidemic manifestations of CCHF and WNF was noted, reflecting an increase in the area of circulation of their pathogens. An expansion of CCHF and WNF epidemic season with the involvement into the epidemic process of people from all age groups including young children was observed. Significant increase in number of imported cases of dengue fever was documented. Markers of tick-borne viral encephalitis, Batai, Inko, Sindbis, and Tyaginya fevers were detected in residents of a number of territories. A high levels of population humoral immunity to West Nile, Batai, Inko, Sindbis Tyaginya, Ukuniemi, Bhanja, Dkhori viruses were identified in the Astrakhan region.Conclusion. The data obtained indicate the need for epidemiological surveillance both for arbovirus infections with a pronounced epidemiological and clinical manifestations, and for infections, the proportion of which in the structure of infectious pathology in southern Russia has not been sufficiently studied, but carrying a potential risk of spreading.

Dengue fever is a zooantroponotic, vector-borne viral disease. It is common among the population of tropical countries and is characterized by a tendency to expand to other countries as a result of infection drifts.Objective: to identify epidemiological, clinical and laboratory features of imported dengue fever in St. Petersburg.Materials and methods. The obtained data of official registration of cases of diseases in the Department of accounting and registration of infectious and parasitic diseases of the city of St. Petersburg and clinical case histories from the Сlinical Infectious diseases hospital named after S.P. Botkin for 2012–2018 were used as the basis for epidemiological analysis. 144 cases of dengue fever were identified on the basis of registration materials in the city during this period, of which 86 cases were studied on clinical histories. Standards methods of epidemiological diagnostics and statistics were used in the article.Results and discussion. Epidemiological anamnesis has been seen in a wide variety of countries in which tourists stayed and became infected. The hemorrhagic form of dengue fever was diagnosed in only 18 (19,1%) out of 86 patients. This form usually develops with repeated encounters with the virus and is more severe than the classic version of the disease. Dengue fever remains a topical imported disease and is associated with an increase in tourists, often re-visiting disadvantaged tropical countries. Both sexes were equally exposed to the disease. The age characteristic of patients is represented by persons of 20–29 and 30–39 years of age. An increase in the number of patients over a 7-year period was noted in May and November. Such countries as Thailand (37%), Vietnam (13,9%) and India (9,3%) were the predominant tourist destinations. Besides, single infections occurred in 13 countries of the Asian, African and American regions. The primary diagnosis in 50,3% of patients referred to hospital were acute respiratory diseases, combined with diarrhea and other manifestations. Clinical manifestations fit into 5 syndromes, which pass with a variety of symptoms, complicating both clinical diagnosis and laboratory confirmation of the diagnosis. Imported dengue fever is characterized by combined infections caused by pathogens of acute intestinal diseases, cytomegalovirus, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, West Nile fever, hepatitis A, Legionella and Plasmodium malaria. In General, combined infection was detected in 39.5% of patients.
