SUMMARY. The article presents clinical cases of children displaced from the war zone, who for a long time were in bomb shelters in close contact with a large number of people, including patients with various infectious diseases. The children contracted several infectious diseases in a short time, which reduced their immune status. Clinical cases show: severe hemorrhagic form of chickenpox with secondary thrombocytopenia; multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19, with a symptom complex similar to measles; secondary purulent meningoencephalitis (E. coli), which complicated subdural hematoma. The team work of qualified specialists of different specialties gave the desired result – all the children recovered.
