Characteristics of regression interrelations between the immune reactions to different staphylococcal strains in chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tracts

: Regressive interrelations between antibody titers to 13 staphylococcal museum strains in the blood serum, polypous fluid and saliva of patients with chronic polypous rhinosinusitis and chronic tonsillitis were studied. The presence of sharply defined positive interrelations between antibody titers in the blood serum and polypous fluid of patients with chronic polypous rhinosinusitis with respect to all staphylococcal strains under study and the absence of significant interrelations between antibody titers in the blood serum and saliva of patients with chronic tonsillitis were shown. The problem of the importance of positive or negative interrelations between individual staphylococcal strains is discussed.
