To calculate the clinical economic indicators the factor costs and indirect costs were determined in case of immunologic examination and without examination according the data of prospective (80 patients) and retrospective study (500 outpatient cards). To evaluate the significance of approach based on immunologic examination methods the percentage of patients with relapse-free period was calculated. The clinical economic evaluation of methods of diagnostic and treatment made it possible to determine economic advantages of application of immunologic methods of examination independently of localization of chronic torpid process and to assess relationship between costs of immunologic methods of examination and effectiveness of applied treatment.
