METHOD OF ESTIMATING GRAVITY OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH RUSSIAN TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: infectology and neurology. SUBSTANCE: in cerebrospinal fluid, concentration of α₂-macroglobulin, plasminogen, plasmin, α₁-antitrypsin proteins are assessed on the first to third day since admission of patient into hospital. When α₁-antitrypsin content is higher than 0.02 +/- 0.001 g/l, plasminogen content higher than 0.00165 +/- 0.00014 g/l, and α₂-macroglobulin content higher than 0.00258 g/l, severe damage of central nervous system is stated and, when corresponding contents are lower than 0.02 +/- 0.001, 0.00165 +/- 0.00014, and 0.00258 g/l, respectively, medium gravity damage of central nervous system is stated. EFFECT: increased accuracy and objectivity of determination. 1 tbl, 2 ex
