Abstract:
Biopsies and blood of 36 patients with bedsores developing due to spinal cord trauma were studied. Pronounced alterations in the blood content of IgA, IgM, IgG, a significant increase in circulating immune complexes (CIC) content and a decrease of neutrophil leukocyte chemotactic activity were found. The authors conclude that an immune system dysfunction occurs in patients with bedsores as well as secondary immune deficiency and immunoglobulin and CIC deposition in the granulation tissue vessels. Development of chronic vasculitis, obliteration and reduction of vessels, hypoxia and metabolic disturbances in the wound edges, formation of deficient fibroblasts synthesizing collagen type III which does not facilitate skin epithelium maturation, all these changes result in a chronic course of the wound and almost complete lack of healing.
