The research institute of medical problems of the North, Krasnoyarsk, 660005, Russian Federation The absence of information concerning features of health and social characteristics of members of families in the nidus of respiratory clamidiosis became the reason of carrying out present research study. The article presents characteristic of medical social condition of members of families of patients with diseases of upper section of respiratory tract associated with chlamydia contamination. The sampling consisted of 87 families, 44 out of them with patients with verified clamidiosis (main group) and 43 families of ENT patients with unconfirmed respiratory clamidiosis (control group). The total number of families membership made up to 245 individuals. The diagnostic of clamidiosis was implemented using complex of laboratory techniques (direct immunofluorescent and enzymelinked immunosorbent assays, polymerase chain reaction). The evaluation of medical social condition of members of family was implemented using questionnaire technique. The genuinely developed questionnaire included sections concerning health condition, health risk factors and social characteristic of members of families of ENT patients. The study resulted in establishing high degree of contagiousness of chlamydia infection in the nidus of respiratory clamidiosis. It is demonstrated that in the family nidi of respiratory clamidiosis the members of family frequently and long-time ill with acute diseases and suffering from chronic pathology of various organs and systems prevailed. In these families, also chronic pathology of ENT-organs was diagnosed more frequently due to more \number of members of families with diseases of throat. In the nidus of respiratory clamidiosis number of families with "good nutrition" was significantly less and number of families considering degree of their social well-being were significantly more. Thus, the study results demonstrated that medical and social condition of families with nidus of respiratory clamidiosis is significantly worse s compared with families without such a nidus.
