title: [The diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic mediastinitis].
abstract: A program of early diagnostics of odontogenic mediastinitis was developed on the basis of an analysis of clinico-laboratory manifestations and the evaluation of its clinical efficiency is given. The criteria were established for determining the phases of odontogenic mediastinitis-reactive, toxic and terminal ones. A program of complex treatment was worked out and introduced into practice which included the methods of efferent therapy-hemosorption and perfusion through xenospleen. Substantially decreased lethality (from 39.5% to 15.3%) from odontogenic mediastinitis was obtained.
