[Parameters of polynuclear cell activity in torpid and latent recurrent rheumocarditis in the process of treatment with a high-protein diet and drug preparations].
The in vitro test of direct granulation of basophils affected by specific antigens (cardial tissue, acid-soluble fraction of collagen, streptococcal allergens) was investigated in the course of treating 41 patients (29 women and 12 men aged from 20 to 50 years) suffering from a little active rheumatic fever. The patients received a complex of therapeutic measures including high-protein diet (130-140 g protein) and drugs (1.5-2.0 g acetylsalicylic acid and 15 mg of prednisolone a day). As a result of the treatment all the patients improved and demonstrated pain relief in the heart region, reduced palpitation, abatement of general weakness and fatigue. At the same time there was a decrease in the reactivity of basophilic leukocytes, shown by less number of degranulated cells in vitro, activated with specific antigens.
