Recurrent bacterial meningitis has multiple underlying...

The article presents results of back pain syndrome screening in a population of children according to the poll of 600 students of classes 1–11. The spread of dorsalgiae is 19%. According to the examination, nosological and clinical structure of dorsalgiae was determined in 35 children of 3–18 years of age hospitalized due to back pain.
