title: [The body's responsiveness and the efficiency of antihomotoxic therapy for chronic opisthorchiasis: an aggregate clinical estimate].
abstract: The authors have proposed an extended clinical evaluation system that calls for a study of the mechanisms of development and relationships of any symptoms and diseases, including those unrelated to opisthorchiasis. Forty patients who had been diagnosed as having chronic opisthorchiasis and had a long history were examined. There was a drastic reduction in the body's susceptibility to acute inflammations during progressive chronic degenerative diseases just at the age of 17-30 years, which is indicative of systemic responsiveness abnormalities. The practical application of the proposed aggregate clinical estimate system makes it possible to apply a holistic approach to analyzing the patients' health status, to substantially upgrade the quality of clinical diagnosis, and extend the capabilities of a differential approach to evaluating the severity of disease and planning therapy.
