title: [Functional activity of the liver and lipopolysaccharide-positive neutrophils of peripheral blood in patients with acute dysentery].
abstract: Acute phase proteins (albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, haptoglobin) and the results of spontaneous and load tests of lipopolysaccharide-positive neutrophils (LPS-PN) in peripheral blood were studied in the course of acute colitic dysentery in 34 patients. It is shown that at the height of the disease there was a fall in the levels of albumin, prealbumin, transferrin while haptoglobin levels were elevated. More persistent and pronounced changes were noted in patients with severe course of acute dysentery. In acute period of the disease there were low values of spontaneous and load LPS-PN tests depending on the disease severity. None of the above parameters returned to control levels within 5-6 days after the start of the treatment.
