[The physiological adaptation functions of cellular and humoral immunity in patients with phlegmons of the maxillofacial area].

In order to evaluate the necessity in immunocorrective therapy the patients with maxillofacial phlegmons were tested for their cellular and humoral immunity. A slight increase or decrease in immunity indices before surgery in several patients were not beyond the physiological norm. Postoperative repetitive investigations the immune parameters attained the mean levels or even went higher without immune-correcting therapy. The above changes are characteristic of the peculiarities of cellular and humoral immunity in individual patients and do not require any interference into the immune system.
