[Humoral indices of immunologic reactivity in the evaluation of the state of patients with cholecystitis before and after surgery]. / Gumoral'nye pokazateli immunologicheskoi reaktivnosti v otsenke sostoianiia bol'nykh kholetsistitom do i posle operatsii

As a result of studies of the complement and serum lysozyme titra, as well as its bactericide index in 250 patients with cholecystitis, it was found that inflammatory lesions of the bile outflow system were accompanied with a considerable reduction of humoral indices of natural immunity, the degree of this decrease being dependent on a gravity of the disease clinical course and a duration of the inflammatory process. Prompt normalization of the immune response factors postoperatively indicated the favourable outcome. Persistant inhibition of the humoral factors activity in most patients preceded the development of clinical signs of complications.
