Immunocorrective Effects of Magnetostimulation Administered in Patients with Thermal Injury
Keywords:
thermal injury, magnetostimulation, immunocorrection
Summary:
The group of 40 patients with burn injuries (>20% body surface) was routinely treated. Twenty of them received additional treatment with magnetostimulation. This treatment improved the efficiency of immune system increasing activity of T regulatory cells and decreasing proinflammatory activity of different effector cells. The gained immunocorrection contributed for better clinical status of patients treated with magnetostimulation.
