[Clinico-immunologic periods of spinal cord injuries].

Abstract

A clinical and immunological periodicity of spinal cord injuries is introduced, comprising 5 periods. The periodicity is based on a study of the indices of a specific and non-specific immunological reactivity of 150 persons with vertebral column traumas accompanied by spinal cord injuries studied after different periods following the trauma and compared with the clinical data and results of similar examinations in the controls. The clinical and immunological periodicity plays an important role in the panning of rational therapy, in the evaluation of bacteriuria and the principles of antibacterial therapy, as well as for the exaluation of the neurodynamics of the injured spinal cord.
