[Relationship between nonspecific, immunologic reactivity of the body and the type of course of an acute inflammatory process].

By using the results of clinical, laboratory, and immunological studies, the authors show that the type (normoergic, hypoergic, hyperergic) of an inflammatory response is related to the parameters of nonspecific and immunological responsiveness of patients with pyo-inflammation in the maxillofacial region. The hypoergic inflammatory response is characterized by the least responsiveness mainly to its cellular link. The hyperergic inflammatory reaction is chiefly caused by considerably enhanced phagocytosis.
