[A method for assessing the patient's clinical status and for predicting the clinical course of suppurative-inflammatory processes using chemiluminescence].

: A new method for the assessment of the severity of the patients' status and prediction of the clinical course of suppurative-inflammatory processes is described, making use of the peripheral blood luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Early assessment of the patient's condition and prediction of the disease course helps correctly choose the treatment strategy.
