Clinical and Biochemical Peculiarities of the Course of Dysentery in Children Treated with Polymixin 'M' and Monomycin
Abstract
Disturbances in serum protein composition are observed in all periods of the disease process, and increase with the severity of the illness, intensifying during moderately severe forms. The changes occur less in mild forms of the disease decrease and with treatment of polymixin 'M' and monomycin quite rapidly. Hypoglobulinemia observed in the majority of patients was caused by elevation of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 globulins; increase in beta was less frequent. The gamma-globulins were reduced. The ratio of the alpha 2 and gamma globulins reflects both the nature of the course of dysentery and the effect of treatment. A rapid reduction in this ratio to normal indicates a favorable clinical course of the disease.
