THE DYNAMICS OF CHANGES IN LYSOZYME ACTIVITY AND CONTENT OF LACTOFERRIN CONTENT OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OSTEOMYELITIS
The article demonstrates that the examination of patients with chronic osteomyelitis treated using the transosseous osteosynthesis technique established the ambiguous character of changes in concentration of lactoferrin and lysozyme in blood serum as compared with pre-surgery values. It is demonstrated that closer to the end of 2-3 months after surgery the normalization of analyzed indicators occurs. The complex detection of lactoferrin, lysozyme applied additionally to basal examination of cell immunity can be used to monitor the chronic osteomyelitis. This approach can play a significant diagnostic and prognostic role in evaluation of severity on infection process.
