ABSTRACT

The authors have made 1048 direct blood transfusions (DBT) and 32 DBT from burn reconvalescents to children with burns. The efficiency of transfusions of immune blood was found to be higher. The direct immune substitution of blood was established to decrease blood toxicity, to increase the serum lysozyme activity, the content of immunoglobulins (A, M, C). to decrease the leukocyte index of intoxication. Eight patients with burns of from 48 to 87% died. The method of operation and organization of donorship for direct immune substitution of blood is described.
