[The mono-oxygenase enzyme system of the liver in patients with true eczema]

Correlations between the clinical course of true eczema and liver monooxigenase system, assessed by antipyrine test, were investigated in patients suffering from the condition. The findings evidence that antipyrine half-life period is prolonged in the patients vs. the reference subjects. Clinical status parameters were more marked and disease duration longer in the patients with a longer antipyrine half-life (over 12 hrs). A correlation between antipyrine half-life period and the disease standing was revealed.
