CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF TRANSFUSION OF A DRY LEUCOCYTIC MASS IN LEUCOPENIC CONDITIONS

Abstract

The dry leucocytic mass can be recommended for use in combination with other therapeutic preparations (Vitamin B12, steroid hormones) in the treatment of patients suffering from agranulocy tosis. In leukopenia of radiation etiology, especially when the dry leucocytic mass had been employed simultaneously with radiation therapy in the prevention of the radiation syndrome, the dry leucocytic mass proved to be more effective than the available medicinal preparations: tesan, pentoxyl, sodium nucleinate, and leucogen. Transfusion of the dry leucocytic mass to patients receiving thiotepa therapy creates the possibility of a prolonged use of thio-tepa without the onset of the leukopenic syndrome. Out clinical use of the solution of dry leucocytic mass demonstrated that it is of little effect in its transfusion to patients suffering from metama larial splenomegaly and leukopenia.
