[The complement system in assessing the reserve potentials of the immune system in patients with nonspecific lung
Abstract:
The complement system was studied in 42 patients with various unspecific pulmonary diseases. It was established that the rate of complement system activation depends on the acuteness of the course of the pyo-inflammatory process in the lungs. The results of study of the kinetics of complement system activation make it possible to prognosticate the course and outcome of inflammatory pulmonary diseases and identify a risk group of patients with diminished reserve possibilities of the immune system and prescribe immunocorrective therapy opportunely.
