Вісник проблем біології і медицини -2023 -Вип. 3 (170) / Bulletin of problems in biology and medicine -2023 -Issue 3 (170) 39 ОГЛЯДИ ЛІТЕРАТУРИ / LITERATURE REVIEWSIn particular, modern criteria for choosing a therapeutic strategy, the main problems that accompany therapy, and factors that affect patient compliance are analyzed by the authors.According to current guidelines, the first line therapy usually includes the administration of 5-aminosalicylic acid orally or rectally, followed by evaluation of clinical efficacy. In a case of insufficient effectiveness, almost all schemes involve corticosteroid's administration (topically or systemically depending on the severity of the disease). The main problem remains the high risk of glucocorticoids side effects. In case of ineffectiveness or insufficient effectiveness of steroid therapy or colectomy, second-line therapy may be recommended -calcineurin inhibitors (CsA, tacrolimus) and infliximab. It should be noted that, unfortunately, only about a quarter of patients respond to therapy with these medicines. The cytostatic methotrexate is also considered as a medication for therapy maintening in certain cases, especially in patients with intolerance to other immunosuppressants.In conclusion, nowadays, ulcerative colitis has a high prevalence in the population, which requires constant improvement of the medical correction ways. The latter is due to the fact that, despite the rather wide arsenal of medicines used for the ulcerative colitis therapy, they cannot provide effective and safe treatment of the disease in a number of cases. This dictates the urgent need to find and research new methods of pharmacotherapy.

Epidemiological surveillance is a critical tool to monitor the population's health and facilitate the prevention and control of infectious disease outbreaks. Bacterial infections are well known as one of the leading causes of global infection-related morbidity and mortality. Our study summarizes the number of bacterial infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia, along with an overview and recent advances in treatment or prevention modalities against these reported bacterial infections. This study only covers the reported bacterial infectious diseases in the Saudi Monthly Epidemiology Reports between 2018 and 2021. The results revealed that brucellosis, tuberculosis and salmonellosis were the most frequently reported bacterial infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia. Generally, males were more affected by bacterial infections than females. There was a variation in the distribution of bacterial infectious diseases between Saudi and non-Saudi citizens. Brucellosis and Salmonellosis infections were more common among Saudi citizens, while Tuberculosis was more common in non-Saudis. Interestingly, there was a decline in the incidence rates of numerous bacterial infectious diseases during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and COVID-19 restrictions. However, this decline in the incidence rates might be a result of underreporting during the national lockdown. Some bacterial infectious diseases were rarely reported in Saudi Arabia, including Syphilis, Diphtheria, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
