title: [The use of the kallikrein-kininogen system indices in the prognosis of the development of hemorrhagic erysipelas].
abstract: A number of the kallikrein-kinin system parameters (kallikrein, prekallikrein, total arginine esterase activity, alpha 1 protease inhibitor, and alpha 2 macroglobulin) were measured in 59 patients with erythematous erysipelas and in 51 ones with hemorrhagic erysipelas over the course of the disease. Marked activation of the blood kallikrein-kinin system was seen in all the patients during the initial period of the disease, manifesting by elevated levels of kallikrein, total arginine esterase activity, alpha 1 protease inhibitor, alpha 2 macroglobulin, and a lowered prekallikrein concentration. In erythematous erysipelas the peak of activation was recorded in the first days of the disease, whereas in hemorrhagic condition it was observed during the second week of erysipelatous inflammation. Different patterns of changes in the kallikrein-kinin system over the course of the disease permit using one of its parameters, kallikrein activity, for the prediction of the development of local hemorrhagic syndrome in erysipelas patients already during the earliest (prehemorrhagic) stage of the condition.
