The paper compares the apparent blood viscosity (BV)-shift rate (SR) curves, by using uni- and multidimensional dispersion analysis. The study has indicated that when admitted to hospital, patients with maxillofacial phlegmons have higher BV due to worse blood rheological and coagulative properties. An analysis of the BV-SR curves has shown that there are the most significant differences between the parameters at moderate and high SR while the differences are frequently insignificant at low SR (on admission, on days 3 and 10).

Application of the integral index of treatment efficacy showed that intravenous injection of sodium hypochlorite and autohemotherapy with oxidized blood led to the closest apposition of cluster center of these patients to the cluster center of healthy persons. It testifies to greater efficacy of such treatment of the disease in comparison to the other methods.

Addition of leukinferon to basic therapy had a pronounced clinical and immunomodulating effect, which resulted in shorter hospitalization period and virtually complete recovery of the main immunological parameters, in contrast to traditional therapy alone. The most demonstrative parameters were the expression of the neutrophil granulocyte membrane receptors and the relationships between T-lymphocyte subpopulations, which prompted using them as the most significant diagnostic markers indicating the disease severity and treatment efficiency.

Due to succinate therapy the exudative component of inflammation was less expressed in comparison with the control, macrophagal reaction and neoangiogenesis were activated, the volume of damaged muscle tissue and the incidence of suppurations decreased. The number of osteoblasts increased and new bone structures acquired a lamellar pattern earlier than in the control.
