[Prediction of infectious complications in surgical patients].
An analysis of results of intracutaneous tests with a set of microbe allergens in 121 patients has shown that absence of a skin reaction to all the allergens under test demonstrates a disturbed immune response (incidence of infectious complications was 77%, both lethal outcomes included). The selective hypersensitivity to the injection of certain allergens was due to the carrier state. The normal reaction of slow type hypersensitivity was found in 101 patients (86,4%) and showed no disorders in immune reactivity which was confirmed by the postoperative course without complications. The test of the slow type hypersensitivity is considered to be highly informative and to allow prognosis of postoperative complications.
