Biophysical studies of the patients' blood plasma have demonstrated that the infiltrative form of acute pneumonia is characterized by appreciable enhancement of fluorescence, the destructive form by its dramatic depression. This rapid method is fairly informative, safe for the patient; it allows the determination of the dynamics of inflammatory and destructive processes that occur in the lungs and the monitoring of the treatment efficacy.

[Treatment of lung abscesses in children]. / Lechenie abstsessov legkikh u detei.

Treatment of 76 children aged from 1 month to 14 years with acute destructive pneumonia complicated by intrapulmonary abscesses is described. The treatment was complex, general, antibacterial and local. The authors have elaborated a method of percutaneous prolonged catheterization of lung abscesses in children which was used in 22 patients. The method resulted in sanitation of the blocked intrapulmonary abscesses, prevention of severe complications and shorter treatment of the patients at the hospital.
