[Combined treatment of panaritium].

69 patients with superficial forms of panaritium were treated with the use of applicational b-therapy in postoperative period. It is well known, that b-radiation produces an anti-inflammatory effect, promotes lysis and elimination of necrotic tissues which promotes healing. Applicational b-therapy was used straight away after the operations and later--after each dressing. In all patients favourable process of wound healing was observed. Mean treatment duration in comparison with control group of patients in which conventional method of mattery wound treatment was used (dressings with antiseptics, UHF-, UVI of the wound), showed to be 1.6-1.8 times less.
