РECULIARITIES OF CONGENITAL IMMUNITY IN NEWBORN INFANTS SUFFERING RESPIRATORY DISORDERS AND UNDERGOING ARTIFICIAL LUNG VENTILATION
The objective of the present study was to measure expression of Toll-like receptor in peripheral blood monocytes and the amount of natural killer cells for the early prognosis of the outcome of respiratory disorders in the newborn infants undergoing artificial lung ventilation. The flow cytometric technique was employed for the purpose. It was found that the newborn infants suffering respiratory disorders complicated by sepsis exhibited the highest percent of TLR-2.
