[Changes in the cellular immunity factors in suppurative complications of penetrating craniocerebral trauma]
Abstract:
The authors examined patients with penetrating cerebrocranial trauma (CCT) and uneventful course of traumatic disease (30) and those with CCT complicated by intracranial purulent process (24 persons). A direct correlation of the marked character and severity of the clinical course of the posttraumatic period and the changes in the immune system was revealed. Increase of the level of neutrophil rosette formation, indices of the NST test, the activity and intensity of neutrophil phagocytosis in penetrating CCT allows the development of an intracranial purulent process to be predicted at an early stage before the appearance of clinical sings. Decrease of the number of spontaneous rosette-forming and formazan-positive neutrophils is an indication of an unfavourable course of an intracranial purulent complication with a fatal outcome.
