[Water-electrolyte balance and plasma corticosteroid level in patients with food poisoning and salmonellosis]. / Vodno-élektrolitnyi obmen i soderzhanie kortikosteroidov v plazme krovi u bol'nykh pishchevymi toksikoinfektsiiami i sal'monellezom.

Altogether 57 patients with alimentary toxoinfections of obscure etiology and 39 patients with the gastrointestinal form of salmonellosis of average gravity were examined. Two methods were employed: rehydration and incorporation of indomethacin in the therapeutic scheme. The time course of the studied indices in the patients with salmonellosis was similar to dynamic changes in the patients with alimentary toxoinfections. The incorporation of indomethacin in the therapeutic scheme brought the indices of water-electrolyte metabolism and corticosteroid secretion more rapidly to normal.
