title: [The parameters of blood and leukocytic intoxication index in the evaluation of the severity of inflammatory, purulent, and pyodestructive diseases].
abstract: Studies of the leukocytic intoxication index (LII), leukocytes, and lymphocytes in patients with inflammatory, purulent, and pyodestructive diseases of the abdomen, lung, and soft tissues at the height of disease have ascertained that LII progressively increased and the relative count of lymphocytes decreased with the worse health status in all groups of patients, particularly in ineffectively treated patients who subsequently died. However, in these patients, the absolute count of lymphocytes did not always tend to decrease. The persistent high LII concurrent with lymphocytopenia indicated a poor prognosis. Leukocytes had less pronounced changes in this respect.
