[Indices of body nonspecific reactivity in salmonellosis patients]

A study of the functional-metabolic activity of neutrophilic leukocytes was performed in 54 patients with salmonellosis using cytochemical and luminescent-cytofluorimetric methods. The time course of disease revealed regular changes of the most important components of the leukocytic microbicidal system and indices of the NBT test activity depending on a stage, degree of severity, clinical type and type of applied therapy. Profound quantitative and qualitative shifts of the intraleukocytic components of the microbicidal system and indices of the NBT test of neutrophilic granulocytes in the time course of salmonellosis characterized the state of nonspecific body resistance.
