METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE CHANCE FOR OSTEOMYELITIS CHRONIZATION IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G01N33/68 G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine, surgery, traumatology, orthopedics.

SUBSTANCE: during the moment of exacerbation and on ending the disease in question one should detect the content of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein in blood due to immunoturbidimetric technique. At decreased content of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor from 2.3-2.6 g/l up to 1-1.2 g/l, and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein from 2.4-2.6 g/l up to 0.7-0.8 g/l one should predict the absence of osteomyelitis chronization. At decreased content of alpha-1 proteinase inhibitor from 2.9-3.1 g/l up to 1.8-1.6 g/l, and that of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein from 3-3.2 g/l up to 1.2-1.3 g/l one should predict osteomyelitis chronization. Application of the present method enables to predict the disease flow in shorter terms at high significance that provides the chance to prescribe the complex of efficient measures in due time which vary depending upon the disease flow.

EFFECT: higher accuracy and efficiency of prediction.
