Immune diagnostics of septic complications in burns

Abstract

The quantitative immune formulae developed with a high degree of confidence for the prediction and diagnosis of septic complications in burn patients are based on definite quantitative values obtained on deficiencies of total lymphocytes, natural killer cells, HLA–DR+ monocytes, IgG, and the hyperactivation of leukocyte intoxication index (LII), CD64+ granulocytes, and a left shift in the blood formula. The developed formulas allow physicians to predict the development of sepsis within a few days to two weeks prior to the clinical diagnosis of sepsis.
