[Skin autoflora in patients with encephalomyelopolyradiculoneuritis with a protracted course].
The deep and superficial skin autoflora has been investigated in 57 patients with encephalomyelopolyradiculoneuritis (EMPRN) characterized by a protracted course. There was a tendency toward an increase in the total colonization of the skin, particularly in the zone of thin intestine projection onto the anterior abdominal wall with the appearance of colonies of microorganisms fermenting mannitol and splitting red blood cells in the amounts exceeding the normal range. These alterations were more marked in deep autoflora and they were evaluated as an indicator of depressed immunobiological reactivity of the body in patients with EMPRN. Skin autoflora in these patients was predominantly presented by a pathogenetic epidermal staphylococcus. The presence of this staphylococcus is considered as a factor of risk and the indicator that the development of staphylococcal infections is highly possible, which makes the "immunological disarmament" in patients with a protracted course of EMPRN even more pronounced.
