As a result of clinical and epidemiological observations by many authors over the past decade, changes in the clinical course of sarcasm have been noted. In particular, a significant increase in the number of purulent-necrotic forms has been revealed, the number of disease relapses has not decreased, their frequent development and high mortality remain. Analysis of available scientific data shows that currently, there is no clearly developed program for the use of magnetic laser therapy in the complex treatment of complicated forms of sarcasm. Information on the morphological features of ulcerative processes and changes in local microcirculation under the influence of this therapy is also insufficient. The significance of the aforementioned problem in practical medicine and the presence of many unexplored issues served as the basis for conducting this scientific research.
