Skin tests with a complex of antigens have revealed anergy in the postoperative period in 17 out of 116 patients with acquired heart diseases. Postoperative purulent complications were observed in 13 out of them. They were effectively treated by repeated transfusions of concentrations of the donor compatible leukocytes.

A comparative estimation of the prognostic value of skin tests was made with tuberculin, coli-bacillus antigens, Candida, blue pus bacillus and more complete set of microbic allergens (hemolytic staphylococcus, white streptococcus, blue pus bacillus, coli-bacillus, group pneumococcus, Candida, Proteus Mirabilis). High prognostic information value was noted by results of skin tests in patients examined with the help of a set consisting of 7 antigens.

[Prediction of infectious complications in surgical patients]. / Prognozirovanie infektsionnykh oslozhnenii u khirurgicheskikh bol'nykh.

An analysis of results of intracutaneous tests with a set of microbe allergens in 121 patients has shown that absence of a skin reaction to all the allergens under test demonstrates a disturbed immune response (incidence of infectious complications was 77%, both lethal outcomes included). The selective hypersensitivity to the injection of certain allergens was due to the carrier state. The normal reaction of slow type hypersensitivity was found in 101 patients (86,4%) and showed no disorders in immune reactivity which was confirmed by the postoperative course without complications. The test of the slow type hypersensitivity is considered to be highly informative and to allow prognosis of postoperative complications.
