Abstract:
In 56 patients with combined maxillofacial and craniocerebral trauma the indices of cellular and humoral immunity were investigated in the course of acute post-trauma period and related to trauma severity. Investigated was also the influence of ACTH and corticosteroid hormones on the mechanisms of secondary transitory immune deficiency and related complications. It was established that in combined craniocerebral and maxillofacial trauma the late complications developed against the background of a considerable catabolic activation (increased levels of ACTH and cortisol), and suppression of cellular immunity. These were indications to goal-directed immune correction as a part in combined therapeutic intervention at the early stages of traumatic disease.
