Abstract

Integral mathematical analysis of changes in the peripheral blood formula was used in multiple-modality treatment of 19 patients with acute infectious destructions of the lungs and pleura. Extracorporeal methods of hemocorrection were used in the treatment. The leukocytic formula entropy, number of tension signs, degree of adaptation reaction, and leukocytic index of intoxication were assessed. Changes in the analyzed parameters were found to depend on the initial severity of patient's status, type of extracorporeal perfusion, and disease outcome. The authors came to a conclusion about the informative value of mathematical integral parameters which permit outlining the approaches to prediction of the disease outcome and plan individual treatment.
