title: [Presence of immune complexes in ischemic stroke].
abstract: There is increasing evidence that inflammatory responses play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cerebral infarct. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of immunocomplexes (i.c.) in patients with stroke in the early period of the disease. Studies were performed on 35 subjects. The concentration of immunocomplexes was determined with the precipitation method (3.5% polyethylenoglikol was used). Increased concentration of i.c. was found in patients with cerebral infarct (after 12 hours and 7 days). It suggests, that i.c. could be one of the markers for systemic inflammation and be important in the patogenesis of atherosclerosis and stroke.
