[The clinico-diagnostic significance of the general antiprotease capacity of the blood in assessing endotoxicosis in suppurative-inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity organs].

The views upon the value of general antiprotease capacity of the blood in evaluation of endotoxicosis in purulent-inflammatory processes of the abdominal cavity are presented. One hundred and thirty one patient with diffuse peritonitis, acute pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice was examined. A role of bacterial proteases in exhaustion of the inhibitors at the example of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain has been established. Use of protease inhibitors (contrykal etc.) only for strict indications is substantiated.
