[The immune status and hemorheological indices in patients with an amebic liver abscess]

The immune status and hemorheological indices were studied in 95 patients with amebic abscess of the liver. Changes in the immune status and hemorheological indices were detected according to the clinical course of the disease. In cases of complications appearing during the disease the patients needed immunostimulating therapy and administration of desaggregants. Drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct is thought by the authors to be a necessary component of treatment while performing massive infusion therapy and adequate recovery of the loss of blood proteins.
