FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to dermatology, and can be used to predict the transition of the infiltrative form of zooanthroponous trichophytosis to the suppurative form of the disease in children. Determination of the content of the immunological indicator in the serum of venous blood is carried out on the 1-5th day of treatment. As an immunological indicator, the content of matrix metalloproteinase-2 is determined. With its value of 5.80 c.u. and higher predict a high probability of the transition of infiltrative trichophytosis to suppurative.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to simplify the prediction of the transition of the infiltrative form of zooanthroponous trichophytosis into the suppurative form of the disease in children by examining the level of the laboratory blood index - matrix metalloproteinase-2.
