RESUMO
A formula was suggested to determine the leukocytic index of intoxication (LII), which is a correlation between the level of neutrophils and the content of other cells in the blood leukocytic composition. The above formula was used to estimate the minimal, maximal and mean LII indices in patients, who had no inflammatory or purulent pathologies, i.e. normal indices, which respectively amounted to 1, 3 and 1.9. Such approach to composing a formula is in line with the specific features of vital activity, unlike Ya.Ya. Kalf-Kalif formula, which (when it was composed) it was added a number of coefficients. The application of the offered formula to determine the LII at acute appendicitis showed that the more severe an acute appendicitis was so much the LII increase was more intensive. It is noteworthy, that the high LII indices did not always correlate with an increased quantity of blood leukocytes. The above stated proves that the offered LII formula can be used in practice.
