title: [Serum C-reactive protein monitoring in children after injuries of closed body cavities].
abstract: Serum CRP-level monitoring was performed in 101 children after trauma of occlude body cavities to determine its applicability in diagnostic procedure, treatment and prognosis. Case history of a patient, clinical status, type and course of treatment provide the basis for establishing clinical punctation in each group of injury for statistical purposes. As many as 87 children with head trauma, 5 having abdominal trauma, 8 with traumatized heads and abdomens, and 1 with chest injury were investigated. All the studied groups revealed similar graph of CRP levels. Until the third day after injury, dynamic rise was being observed followed by slower elimination phase proceeding to the initial level on the seventh day after the injury. Dynamics of CRP outputs and their positive correlation with the area under the curve in all groups investigated shows that CRP monitoring is useful for clinical purpose.
