[The assessment of the course of an infectious process by the membrane status of the peripheral blood lymphocytes].

Lipid peroxidation in lymphocyte membranes is studied in patients with acute viral hepatitis B and B + C and in chronic alcoholics with Flexner's dysentery and with uneventful premorbid history. The intensity of lipid peroxidation in lymphocytes was increased, corresponding to the severity and period of infection. The premorbid background and therapy influenced the lymphocyte membrane status, which can serve as an integral indicator of immunological reactivity of the organism.
