The aim of this survey is to assess the intoxication syndrome in 46 patients, suffering from acute cholecystitis--17 men and 29 women. Clinical signs/ present status, temperature, pulse, respiration, as well as laboratory results/leucocytes, blood count, leucocyte index of intoxication-- LII / are used. The value of LII correspond with the clinical status of the patient and histological findings.
