[Several indices of non-specific immunity in staphylococcal sepsis and staphylococcal gastroenterocolitis in children of different ages].
A study was made of some nonspecific immunity indices in staphylococcus sepsis and gastroenterocolitis during the infectious process in young children. Results of these investigations pointed to the depression of bactericidal and lysozyme activity of the blood serum and of the immunoadherence reaction at the acute period of the disease, and to some increase at the phase of recovery. There was also found an elevation of the phagocytic activity (of the phagocytolysis percentage) at the acute phase of the staphylococcus sepsis and gastroenterocolitis Antistaphylococcus gamma-globulin produced a positive effect on the lysozyme and bactericidal activity of the blood sera and promoted an increase of the blood phagocytic activity in the sick children.
