title: [Quantitative evaluation of the degree of intoxication in peritonitis by studying the migration activity of leukocytes].
abstract: In 40 patients with diffuse peritonitis of various origin the author has studied the migration activity of leucocytes in flat five-canal capillaries. There was found a distinct dependence between the level of intoxication and indices of leucocytes migration activity, namely the higher the level of intoxication and the less favourable is the course of peritonitis, the lower the indices of leucocytes migration. A rise in the migration activity of leucocytes coincides with clinical manifestations of the improvement. Studies were conducted prior to surgery and every two days till patient's discharge or death. The data obtained allowed a suggestion that the kinetics of indices of leucocytes migration activity can serve as a criterion for estimating the course of peritonitis and efficacy of the therapy employed. Application of the suggested test offers new opportunities for a comparative study of various methods of treatment for peritonitis.
