The importance of chronic foci of infection and the need for their sanitation in the treatment of various diseases are well known, but in practice, their
successful finding is not always possible. In the work of a practical doctor, I regularly had to search for foci of inflammation due to “fever of unknown origin”, changes in the clinical analysis of blood: leukocytosis, accelerated ESR, normochromic anemia. Physical, laboratory
and instrumental research methods took a lot of time, were quite traumatic
(puncture, biopsy) and rarely yielded results.
