[Prognostic value of leukocytic migratory activity indices in patients with erysipelas].
Peripheral blood leukocytic migratory activity (LMA) was studied in patients with primary or recurrent erysipelas. A screening cell migration test (SCMT) was used in vitro and it established the prognostic value of MAL parameters at week 1 after the onset of erysipelas. It has been shown that a rapid transition of LMA from the phase of acceleration to that of inhibition characterizes the formation of an adequate immune response, corresponds to the good course of the disease, and has a low likelihood of recurrences. The probability of a recurrence is much higher than that when LMA tends to transit from suppression to acceleration and when LMA parameters are constant in the phase of suppression or acceleration. No transition of LMA to the phase of suppression in early convalescence suggests that the formation of an immune response to streptococcus is delayed.
