[Microelement metabolism in children with peritonitis]
Abstract
The work presents results of the investigation of the level of microelements (iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, manganese, aluminium) in the blood of children with peritonitis. Their considerable decrease was found, especially on the third day after operation. Correction of electrolites in patients with peritonitis is considered to be necessary.
