[The occurrence of endothelial cells in the blood in deep venous inflammation]

The number of anuclear residues of endothelial cells in the blood stream was investigated in 22 patients suffering from deep phlebitis and no other disease. The level of endothelaemia in these patients was in all instances higher than in 24 healthy subjects. Assessment of the endothelaemia in patients with deep phlebitis makes more accurate assessment of the diagnosis and the follow-up of regression of the disease possible.
