METHOD FOR EVALUATING INFLAMMATORY PROCESS ACTIVITY IN INFANTINE OSTEOMYELITIS CASES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves separating blood serum proteins into fractions, determining albumins and alpha-2-globulins content and controlling their content changes during the disease development process. Gamma-globulin content is determined in per cent ratio with respect to total protein quantity. Then, changes in the fractions content are controlled from the first to the third week. Albumin content being in norm and alpha-2-globulins content becoming greater to the end of the first week by 30-50% when compared to normal value and dropping to norm at the second week end and gamma-globulin content increasing from norm by 10-30% to the second or the third week, high inflammatory process activity is to be diagnosed. Albumin content dropping by 10-30% from normal value at the second week, alpha-2-globulins content growing by 10-20% of norm and gamma-globulin content dropping by 30-50% at the second or the third week when compared to norm, low inflammatory process activity is to be diagnosed.

EFFECT: high accuracy and reliability of diagnosis.
