[Effect of diet therapy on the immunological indices in rheumatism].
Rheumatic patients with torpid and latent course of the process were kept on a protein-rich diet (up to 140.0 g of protein). The effect of the diet on the organism was appraised by the peripheral blood lymphocytes blast-transformation reaction, as the one most comprehensively reflecting the immunological status of the individual. The patients were examined in dynamics, on admission to and at the time of discharge from the clinic. The data thus obtained suggest that the protein-rich diet tends to bring down the number of activated cells in in vitro cultures.
