[The use of Tetrahymena pyriformis infusoria to determine the level of toxemia in patients].
Blood toxicity was estimated with the use of Tetrahymena pyriformis strain GL in patients with diffuse peritonitis. The time of the infusoria survival in the blood serum was a criterion of toxemia level. Infusoria life span was found to depend on peritonitis severity and serum concentration of medium-molecular peptides.
