[Ultraviolet irradiation of lymphoplasma in combination with lymphocytapheresis in the treatment of patients with diseases of the blood system].

The article describes results of treatment of 8 patients with diseases of blood system complicated by autoimmune processes with the use of lymphocytopheresis in combination with the ultraviolet irradiation of lymphoplasm for its sterilization before autotransfusion. It was shown that ultraviolet rays (254-330 nm) gave a stable most pronounced lymphoplasm-sterelizing effect in addition to the increased immunosuppressive action due to lymphocytophoresis in the external drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct.
