Comparison of 3 methods for the assessment of the severity of intoxication in patients with maxillofacial phlegmons, i.e. the leukocytic index of intoxication (LII), Paramecium test (PT), and measurement of the middle molecule level (MML), has shown that all these methods sufficiently well reflect the severity of the disease clinical course. LII and PT values are below the norm just before the patient's discharge, whereas MML is virtually normal. Bearing in mind the high toxicity of the middle molecules, one should acknowledge that of the 3 methods for estimation of the severity of intoxication in patients with maxillofacial phlegmons only MML reflects the disease onset, this being of practical value.
