title: [Tumor necrosis factor and possibilities of correction of its production in patients with suppurative-septic complications in terminal states].
abstract: The production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by mononuclears was studied in 37 patients after critical states of various origins. A relationship was revealed between the TNF production and the patient's condition severity and the development of pyoseptic complications. Use of thymohexin, a new drug for correction, provided a modulating effect and helped reduce the excessively increased TNF production both in vitro and in the patients with pyoseptic complications.
