Endotoxinemia as a factor in the pathogenesis of thrombocytopathies in patients with acute infectious destruction of the lungs

: Laboratory studies of the influence of the staphylococcal endotoxin on functional properties of thrombocytes and clinical observations of patients with a pronounced syndrome of endotoxicosis have shown an important role of endotoxinemia in pathogenesis of the arising thrombocytopathies. Possibilities of the medicamentous protection of blood plates from the damaging action of endotoxinemia are considered.
