[The immune system status in patients with thrombohemorrhagic syndrome caused by peritonitis]
Abstract:
The changes of immune system were studied in patients, suffering thrombohemorrhagic syndrome (THS), occurred in environment of peritonitis of various severity. A Mannheim's Peritonitis Index (MPI), based on calculation of a point's sum, providing the patient's state characterization, was used for the peritonitis severity estimation. In MPI lesser than 20 points a first degree peritonitis was diagnosed, in a range of 20-30 points--a second degree and more than 30 points--a third degree. The immunogram indices were analyzed in 120 patients, suffering THC with peritonitis. Disorders of cellular and humoral parts of immunity are mostly expressed in patients with THS and peritonitis of II-III degrees (according to MPI). The immunogram changes revealed have served as a background for incorporation of immunomodulating therapy to the complex program of treatment in such patients.
