[The mechanism of the action of UV-irradiated autotransfusions in treating patients with suppurative-inflammatory diseases of the face and neck].

An analysis of examination and treatment of 36 patients with acute pyo-inflammatory diseases of face and neck has shown the inclusion of UV-irradiated autotransfusions into the complex of therapeutic measures to decrease blood viscosity and to increase deformability of erythrocytes. It elevates the intensity of blood circulation in the system of macro- and microcirculation. The increased arteriovenous oxygen difference after UV-irradiated autotransfusions points to improved utilization of tissue blood and enhanced bioenergetic processes.
