RESUMEN
The IgG, IgA and IgM levels in the serum of 23 patients with maxillofacial bacterial infections were determined. The high IgG level noted on admission further increased in the serum of 14 patients with acute inflammation and decreased in the serum of 10 patients with a chronic course. The level of IgM in the serum of patients with acute inflammation was higher than in the patients with chronic inflammation and decreased in both groups on the 7th day of treatment. The IgA level was high on admission in both groups and fell on the 7th day of treatment. Our results suggest that analysis of the serum level of IgG, IgA and IgM may be of diagnostic and prognostic value in the treatment of maxillofacial bacterial inflammation.

Analysis of bacteriological examination results in 46 children with submandibular lymph nodes inflammation has been presented in the paper. The examinations have been carried out from the point of view of observation of bacterial flora variation and its drug--resistance. The analysis of examination results has revealed existence of strains such as: S. aureus, S. albus, S. epidermidis. The attention has been called to the necessity of bacterial flora examinations considering substantial changes in the frequency of particular strains occurrence and their drug resistance.
