HYPERSENSITIVITY OF THE SLOW-TYPE REACTION OF STOPPING MIGRATION OF THE LEUCOCYTES WITH PULMONARY EXTRACT IN THE PATIENTS WITH COXIELLOSIS
Abstract
The results of clinical follow-up and examination of 41 patients with average-severe course of coxiellosis at the age of 17-48 years (39 males and 2 females) are presented in this study. Hypersensitivity of the slow-type reaction of stopping of migration of leucocytes with pulmonary extract has been discovered in the patients with coxiellosis in dynamics and. in 30 donors. 29,3 % patients complained on tightness in the chest and. cough. Auscultation revealed hard breathing in 65,9 % patients with coxiellosis, dry and. moist rattles in 19,5 % patients. X-ray examinations confirmed the presence of bronchitis in 9,8 % patients and. pneumonia - 2,4 %. Formation of hypersensitivity of the slow-type depended on the period of the disease. Stopping of migration of leucocytes has seen noted at the first, second, and third weeks of the disease in 25,0, 35,3 and. 50,0 % patients, which shows the formation of the cellular autosensibilisation the pulmonary tissue under coxiellosis.
