Abstract: | The data on the results of clinico-immunological examination of 46 infants having purulent inflammatory infections in the first month of their life and treated with (a) immunoglobulin for intravenous injection, (b) with hyperimmune antistaphylococcal plasma and immunoglobulin for intravenous injection and (c) without the use of specific hyperimmune preparations are presented. The clinico-laboratory data thus obtained (the levels of serum immunoglobulins and the content of T-rosette-forming lymphocytes) are indicative of the expediency of including the intravenous injection of donor immunoglobulin into the complex therapy of newborn infants with severe and moderate forms of purulent inflammatory infections at an early period of the disease irrespective of its etiology. |
