Symptoms of secondary immune deficiency were revealed in 37 out of 84 wounded with colonic fistulas and colostomas. During the preparation of the patients to restorative operations for the improvement of the immune system functions the patients were given transfusions of donor leuko-suspension taken from subjects with high titer of antibody in blood serum to colon bacillus and intravenous infusions of immunoglobulin. Such immunocorrection allowed restoration of immune potential of organism during a short time and improvement of the operation results.

A complex clinico-immunological examination of patients subjected to extensive resections of different portions of the intestine was performed. It was established that participation of the immune system in regulation of homeostasis in patients under examination was characterized by lympho- and monocytopenia, lower amount of T-lymphocytes at the expense of low avidity fractions with a simultaneous increase of high avidity fractions of these cells.
