They force to take a fresh look at the provisions of the focal infection concept, wich set out in the works of a prominent soviet therapist, professor Alexandr Nikolaevich Senenko. Heading the famous Department of Naval and Hospital Therapy of the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov, being a consultant therapist to the Navy, major general of the Medical Service A.N. Senenko was remembered by us as an excellent internist and cardiologist, scientist and mentor, as well as a specialist with advanced views on the role of focuses of chronic infection in the clinic of internal diseases.

Senenko - this is a significant event and occasion to remember with thanks about this person, to remember about his professional fate and the concept that doctors turn to again and again today.
