title: [Plasmapheresis in combined treatment of severe forms of abscesses and gangrene of the lungs].
abstract: With an adjuvant course of plasmapheresis, a combined treatment of severe acute abscesses and gangrene of the lungs brought about a marked short-term clinical response in 48 out of 50 treated patients. The responders had their temperature returned to normal, amount of sputum significantly reduced. They recovered good appetite and gained weight. There was also attenuation of DIC syndrome and endotheliosis, improvement of cellular and humoral immunity. Upon the discharge 35 patients had complete or partial response, 10 patients developed a chronic process. Lethal outcomes reached 10%.
