Abstract

3. Immunological aspects 90 patients suffering from chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis were examined immunologically. In 10-20% of the patients serum immunoglobulin levels were changed. Only 45% of the patients with staphylococcal infection had a positive anti-staphylolysin titer. In 10% of the patients so-called wound-specific antibodies were demonstrated; their possible autoimmune origin is discussed. A comparison of three groups of patients according to the immunological reactivity "hypoimmune", "humoral hyper-immune" and "cellular hyperimmune" showed that the worst clinical courses were observed in patinets with established delayed type hypersensitivity.
