Comportamiento de variables inmunológicas en pacientes politraumatizados

the descriptive study of some cell and humoral immunity variables including spontaneous and active rosettes, immunoglobulins, total hemolytic complement and circulating immunocomplexes was carried in 30 multiple trauma patients seen at the intensive care unit of "dr luis díaz soto" higher institute of military medicine. patients were monitored by means of three blood extractions taken 24 h, 72h and 7 days after their having suffered the trauma. there was a reduction in rosettes, changes in the immunoglobulin values and an increase of circulating immunocomplexes, hence the follow-up of these variables would be important for the assessment of multiple trauma patients
