ABSTRACT
In 76 children with chronic pneumonia the levels of serum antibodies to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide antigens (serotypes 1, 3, 6B, 8, 9N, 15F, 23F), O-polysaccharide and pneumococcal protein somatic antigens were determined by ELISA techniques. The study showed that in sick children the content of antipneumococcal antibodies in the blood increased with age. No correlation between the content of total immunoglobulins and that of antipneumococcal antibodies in the blood of the patients was established, but a sharp decrease in the concentration of antibodies was registered in a child with hypoglobulinemia. No increase in the level of antibodies to pneumococcal antigens was observed in cases of the exacerbation of Pneumococcus-induced inflammatory process in the lungs.
