title: [Disorders in the hypophysis-adrenal and hypophysis-thyroid systems of patients with acute pneumonia and the ways for their therapeutic correction].
abstract: Using RIA, 188 patients with acute pneumonia were examined over time for the blood ACTH, cortisol, TTH, T3 and T4 content as well as for T4/T3, TTH/T3 and TTH/T4 correlations. Under discussion are causes, approaches to the prevention and correction of the hormonal disorders revealed in the pituitary-adrenal system in patients with an unfavourable course of pneumonia. The majority of the patients manifested thyroid hypofunction and TTH hypersecretion, which remained unchanged even during the clinical recovery, since the first days of the disease. It is advisable that microdoses of thyroidine may be included into the multimodality treatment of patients afflicted with acute pneumonia and iodine-containing expectorants excluded from it.
