title: [Total blood analysis in assessing status of patient with caseous pneumonia].
abstract: The relative and absolute parameters of blood cells were examined in patients with caseous pneumonia before and 2 and 4 months after treatment. The absolute count of stab neutrophils and monocytes proved to be most informative. The long-term presence of stab neutrophils indicated that these cells are of great importance in the antituberculosis immunity of patients with caseous pneumonia.
