[A comparative analysis of the course of odontogenic phlegmons of the face and neck area in patients from Yakutsk and Moscow]. / Sravnitel'nyi analiz techeniia odontogennykh flegmon oblasti litsa i shei u bol'nykh Iakutska i Moskvy.

ABSTRACT

A total of 126 patients with odontogenic inflammatory diseases were examined, 54 of these in Moscow and 72 in Yakutsk. The clinical and immunological parameters were assessed on days 2 and 6 after similar operations. In residents of Yakutsk the inflammatory process was associated with a more expressed intoxication and coursed 1.5 to 2 days longer than in Muscovites; moreover, the residents of Yakutsk developed higher leukocytosis and a drop of T-lymphocyte level with the predominance of T-helpers. Hence, odontogenic inflammations take mainly a hyperergic course in Yakutsk and a normergic one in Moscow.
