Correction of the immunologic shifts induced by hemosorption in sepsis of the newborn

Alongside with a positive clinical effect, hemosorption (HS) leads to the elimination of humoral immunity factors (Ig, FN) from the blood, having no effect on the phagocytic activity of leukocytes. Massive immunocorrection in doses 2-3 times higher than the age-matched ones, increases considerably the levels of IgG and FN. Immunomodulating effect of HS is enhanced when HS is combined with ultraviolet blood irradiation.
