Functional Neutrophils Activity and Lipid Peroxidation in Patients With Severe Form of Herpes Infection

Abstract

The functional activity of neutrophils and lipid peroxidation was studied in 73 patients with severe form of herpes infection. The augmentation of first, second (trienic conjugates) and last (Schiff bases) products of lipid peroxydation in plasma and in erythrocytes was increased in the periods of remission and exacerbation of the disease. The increasing degree of Schiff bases was higher in the remission periods than in the exacerbation periods of the disease. The oxygen production of neutrophils was increased in the periods of remission and exacerbation of the disease.
