title: [Determination of superoxide production by polymorphonuclear leukocytes for the diagnosis and prognosis of burn sepsis].
abstract: The authors conducted 140 studies of the level of superoxide production by polymorphonuclear leukocytes in 60 patients with severe burns during various periods of the burn disease. Sepsis was diagnosed clinically in 13 of the examined patients. It is shown that study of the leukocyte superoxide-generating function is important for objective appraisal of the condition of the unspecific protestive factors in persons with burns, early diagnosis and prognostication of possible infectious complications, as well as for evaluation of the adequacy of the applied treatment, namely--a fall of the level of superoxide production below 2.0-1.7 nm/10(6) indicated the development of sepsis and coincided with suppuration of the burn wound.
