[Characteristics of leukocytic markers in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis during exacerbation].

The immune status of patients with periodontitis was studied using monoclonal antibodies. Two variants of the immune status were distinguished: with high and low reactivity of T cellular system. The data on the presence of receptors and apoptosis markers on lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes of patients with periodontitis are presented for the first time. The authors recommend to take the results of this study into consideration when treating patients with chronic periodontitis.
