title: [Changes in the buccal epithelium in certain diseases in children].
abstract: Buccal epitheliocytes collected from healthy and sick children aged 1 to 5 years were examined. The maximal and minimal size of epitheliocytes was measured and their mean size estimated, as was the percent share of cell cytolysis. An integral index derived on the basis of these measurements reflects the degree of change in the quantitative parameters characterizing the buccal epitheliocytes and is in positive correlation with deviations of hematological parameters from the norm in children with bronchopulmonary and somatic disease.
