Results: After the study conducted and based on subjective data of the clinical inspection, the differential diagnosis of the laboratory exam was established in 3 cases of OC. Treatment of patients with OC. was adjusted individually, taking into consideration the general condition and the particular process. In all the cases treatment included: General-l.Tab.
