[The clinical value of determining erythrocyte sorption capacity and the levels of middle molecules and circulating immune complexes in assessing endotoxemia in patients with abscesses and phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].

The intoxication degree in abscesses and phlegmons of maxillofacial area may be extremely variable and connected with the microflora type, the patient's age and reactivity of the organism. We believe that the most promising markers of endogenous intoxication are the indices of sorption ability of erythrocytes, medium-weight molecule level and circulating immune complexes.
