[Use of leukocytic suspension in the treatment of diffuse peritonitis]

Immunocorrection by means of transfusions of donor leukocytes was performed in 64 patients. Transfusions of the leukocytic suspensions in short courses (2-3 transfusions to one patient or 300-500 ml per a course) during the first three days after operation allowed the immune status of organism to be improved and increased the effectiveness of the antibacterial and infusion-detoxication therapy. The greatest medical effect was obtained when using the leukosuspension from donors with natural high (from 1:160 and higher) titers of antibodies to E. coli.
