Abstract

The article presents the results of a clinical and paraclinical examination of patients with toxic encephalopathy with the aim of determining the algorithms of early diagnosis and differential diagnosis, as well as the possible impact on the pathogenetic mechanisms of the formation of the disease to increase the effectiveness of its treatment.
