Disorders of microcirculation and blood rheology in patients with lumpy pneumonia

To find out the peculiarities of microcirculatory disorders in lobar pneumonia 35 patients were examined in dynamics. Along with the assessment of the activity and prevalence of the inflammatory process, state of external respiration and vegetovascular tone in the patients we carried out special studies: biomicroscopy of conjunctival vessels and thermotopography with determination of the difference between: a) chest and lower leg temperature - oral-caudal ratio (OC); b) proximal and distal limb skin temperature - proximal-distal ratio (PD); c) temperature in symmetrical skin areas - thermoasymmetry (TA). Corresponding indices in healthy individuals were 3,5 0,2, 2,2 0,19, 0,5 0,03. The state of hemocoagulation and fibrinolysis was studied by thromboelastography, ethanol test, erythrocyte and platelet aggregation capacity, hematocrit.
