Oksana Chemych did her Master’s in Medical Sciences at the Sumy State University (SSU), Ukraine. During her Master’s thesis in infectious diseases she investigated epidemiological and etiological features of modern acute intestinal infectious diseases caused by opportunistic bacteria, and their impact on the level of endogenous intoxication (EI). PhD degree was obtained at the Department of infectious diseases with epidemiology, SSU, Ukraine, thesis topic: “Clinical, epidemiological and microbiological features of the course of gastrointestinal form of salmonellosis (S), improvement of diagnosis and treatment.” For her PhD she extended her experience on justification of a new approach to the treatment of S, which was implemented by the appointment of a combined probiotic instead of an antibacterial drug, and in combination with standard basic therapy. Against the background of the prescribed treatment, a study of clinical features of the course, blood parameters, indices of EI and intestinal microbiocenosis. A prognostic model of the severity of the gastrointestinal form of S was created.
