[Interrelationship between staphylococcal sensitization, the protective function of leukocytes and septic complications in the burned].

The state of staphylococcus sensitization and the index of completeness of staphylococcus phagocytosis was studied in 42 persons with severe burns. Development of staphylococcus complications was connected with marked specific microbial sensitization and disturbance of intracellular digestion of staphylococci by the patients' blood leukocytes. Detection of unfavourable interraltions of the antistaphylococcus immunity and allergy in the course of the disease can be of diagnostic and prognostic significance.
