EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL IMMUNOCORRECTION IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC WOUNDS

Abstract

At present time, immunotyping of lymphocyte subpopulations is an obligatory test, if an acquired immunodeficiency state is suspected, e.g., in chronic recurrent furunculosis. However, the data obtained are sometimes difficult to interprete, due to of insignificant and or multidirectional changes of parameters determined in the patients undergoing immunological testing. In present study, some basic features of immune status were examined in the patients with chronic recurrent furunculosis, being in remission state. A detailed analysis of separate immunological indices is presented, taking into account duration of the disease, periodicity of recurrencies, and individual clinical features of furunculosis. Dynamics of immunological test values in the course of disease and upon clinical exacerbations were subject to special analysis. Altered relationships between lymphocyte subpopulation are described in patients with furunculosis.
