[The effect of acute alcoholic intoxication on the body's immunologic and biochemical indices]

Acute experimental intoxication in rats produced essential changes of the absorptive capacity of neutrophilic blood granulocytes, proteolytic activity, level of proteinase inhibitors and content of blood plasma fibrinogen. Female rats showed a distinct reduction of the activity of natural killer cells. Alcohol had no essential effect on the production of hemolytic antibodies as well as reagins in the respiratory organs.
