[Correction of immunologic disorders in patients with burns]

Addition of immunomodulating therapy with Thymalin, a thymus agent, to the multimodality therapy of burnt patients contributes to a rapid normalization of immunological parameters. The most marked immune response was observed 7-10 days after a therapy course initiated in the early periods of burn disease in patients with severely depressed T-system immunity and a high sensitivity to the drug. Inclusion of a donor blood leukomass transfusion course activates the cellular link of the immune system just after the treatment course, but fails to favour a stable normalization of thymus-dependent lymphocyte ratios.
