1.00If a controversial result was obtained, thesample was re-examined to eliminate errors atthe analytical stage.All serological tests were performed in thesame laboratory by qualified personnel.Statistical calculations were verified usingStatistica, version 6.1. The significance of differences between the study groups was checkedusing the χ2 test. The criterion of statistical reliability was the level p <0.05, p for the trend according to the criterion χ2 = 0.086.

The rapid increase in the number of factors affecting the nature and degree of threats to sanitary and epidemiological well-being is a trend of the modern stage of human development. Today, the world community faces such challenges as new and recurring infectious diseases, threats of illegal use of synthetic biology products. These problems revealed the need to strengthen control measures over infectious diseases as an effective tool for preserving and strengthening the health of the population [1]. Clear trends of the change in manifestations of the epidemic process of certain nosological forms of infectious pathology require the development of improved approaches to the arrangement and maintenance of epidemiological surveillance of infectious diseases, and serological monitoring should be considered as its most important element. This method makes it possible to assess such important elements as the true immunologic population response to certain pathogens, identify risk groups for the disease and evaluate the effectiveness of existing therapy and prevention algorithms to optimize the use of health care resources [2, 3]. Currently, in the Russian Federation, as in most countries of the world, except China and Japan, serological monitoring of chlamydial and mycoplasma infections is not carried out, which makes works in this direction especially urgent. Carrying out such studies in the era of a pandemic acquires additional importance — assessing the likelihood of a seasonal increase in possible coinfection as a factor that changes the course of the current respiratory disease and patient management tactics.
