Improvement and Standardization of Laboratory Diagnostics Procedures as Concerns Particularly Dangerous, “Emerging”, and “Reemerging” Infectious Diseases

Represented are the data on the key stages of laboratory diagnostics practices standardization as regards particularly dangerous infectious diseases and on the improvement of the normative-regulatory framework on the procedure for organization and carrying out laboratory diagnostics in accordance with three-level system. Worked out are the principles, scheme of indication and identification of pathogenic biological agents of emerging, previously unknown, and atypical microorganisms using modern computerized systems and high-tech equipment.

стандартизация лабораторной диагностики, особо опасные инфекции, индикация и идентификация «новых» и «возвращающихся» инфекционных болезней, standardization of laboratory diagnostics practices, particularly dangerous infections, indication and identification of “emerging”, and “reemerging” infectious diseases
