Abstract:
Authors have examined burned patient's plasma for detecting and estimating titres of endotoxin with micro-limulus test.It was shown that low and high titres of endo-loxin were usually found in burned palients infected with gram-negative bacteria,especially Ps.aeruginosa, and with high body temperature.In patients suffering from septi-semia caused by gram-negative bacteria were usually found higher titres of endotoxin, which would endanger patients lives. Patients who were dying with a higher litre of endotoxin had the symptoms of endotoxic shock, such as a fall of body temperature and blood pressure.The micro-limulus test is a rapid, sensitive, reliable and reagent-saving in vitro method for quantitative estimation of endotoxin. It is much useful for sndotoxaemia diagnosis and helps to expedite treatment and prognosis.
