ENANTIOMORPHIC PECULIARITIES OF UNILATERAL COMMUNITY-ACQUIRED PNEUMONIA AND ITS CLINICAL COURSE
636 patients with a unilateral community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) were assessed for right-sided and left-sided pneumonia clinical course. The authors revealed enantimorphic differences in some laboratory and clinical parameters more marked in different gender groups and seasons (summer, autumn), but less significant for the whole studied contingent ant the patients of different age groups. Enantimorphic differences are more related to laboratory findings reflecting local and systemic inflammation than to the parameters unassociated with severity of inflammatory changes.
