Abstract

Informative and prognostic significance of cytokines in assessing the effectiveness of treatment tactics no doubt.

The aim was to study the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the dynamics of the treatment of infected wounds and purulent (IWP) in children using the proposed optimized local treatment compared with standard procedure.

Materials and methods. 45 children with IWP who were treated in the department of purulent surgery of Zaporozhye Regional Children's Hospital during the period of 2015-2016 years were divided into main (n = 26) and control groups (n = 19) depending on the tactics of treatment. The therapy of the main group patients were added by optimized integrated local treatment, which included a combination of magnetic therapy, antibacterial drug liposomal solutions and hirudotherapy. Efficacy of treatment was assessed by clinical characteristics and serum levels of IL-1β and IL-10 on the 1st and the 7th day of treatment.

Results. The highest levels of pro-inflammatory IL-1β were defined in children with lymphadenitis on the first day of treatment. Common trends in the dynamics of cytokines content changes on the 7th day were in the line with generally accepted: decreased in IL-1β and increased in IL-10 levels. The level of IL-1β was not statistically different on the 7th day only in children with phlegmon. The most significant changes in IL-10 were observed in children with abscesses and lymphadenitis than in children with infected wound and phlegmon. Changes in markers of inflammation conform to positive changes in the clinical course of wound healing in children at the study. Generally, there was a lag dynamics of cytokines changes in the children who received standard therapy compared with the children who received the proposed optimized local treatment.

Conclusions. The use of proposed IWP complex treatment in children showed the most significant effect on the anti-inflammatory IL-10 level in children with abscesses and lymphadenitis. Serum level of IL-1β and IL-10 can not be used to assess the dynamics of wound healing in children with phlegmon.
