title: [Indices of phagocytosis of S and R forms of Brucella in patients with acute and chronic brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus].
abstract: The characteristics of phagocytosis (phagocytic activity and phagocytic index) in patients with acute and chronic brucellosis have been studied with B. abortus S- and R-forms used as its objects. The study has revealed that higher characteristics of phagocytosis with respect to B. abortus S-forms are observed in patients with acute brucellosis, whereas in patients with chronic brucellosis taking a benign course phagocytosis is more intensive in respect of R-forms. In patients with frequent exacerbations of chronic brucellosis differences in the characteristics of phagocytosis with respect to B. abortus S- and R-forms are not statistically valid.
