Dynamics of erythrocyte electrophoretic mobility in patients with various forms of erysipelas

AIM: To study electrophoretic mobility (EM) of erythrocytes in the course of various forms of erysipelas. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 78 patients with various erysipelas clinical forms were examined in the disease acute period and early in convalescence. RESULTS: EM of erythrocytes was significantly higher in hemorrhagic forms of erysipelas vs an erythematous form. CONCLUSION: Manifest changes in functional condition of erythrocytic membranes in patients with erythematous-hemorrhagic and bullous-hemorrhagic forms of erysipelas play an important part in the development of local hemorrhagic syndrome.
