[Pathogenetic implications of lipid spectrum in some infectious diseases].
OBJECTIVE
To estimate concentrations of blood serum lipids and erythrocytic membranes in the conditions of intoxication syndrome.


METHODS
Lipids were studied in the serum and erythrocytic membranes of 48 patients with oropharyngeal diphtheria and 67 patients suffering from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in different forms and severity of the disease.


RESULTS
Various correlations were found between structural and serum lipids. This is pathogenetically important for characterizing biomembranes and variants of activation of lipid metabolism in conditions of intoxication syndrome in diphtheria and HFRS.


CONCLUSIONS
At the height of diphtheria and HFRS organization of biomembrane phospholipids conformation creates conditions for cell disorganization.
