title: [Status of nonspecific defense factors in patients with traumatic endophthalmitis].
abstract: Nonspecific defense factors, i. e. phagocytosis, lysozyme, properdin, immunoglobulin levels are unchanged in traumatic endophthalmitis, vs. those in cases uncomplicated with traumas. The complement activity is significantly elevated already at the early stages of a purulent infection, being 0.042 +/- 0.019 U of 100% hemolysis, vs. the control value of 0.058 +/- 0.017 U of 100% hemolysis; the difference is statistically significant. Measurement of the blood serum complement activity may be regarded as an auxiliary test in the early diagnosis of endophthalmitis.
