Abstract

Patients undergoing joint surgery and blood transfusion were studied. Serum and leukocyte bactericidal tests in vitro against Salmonella typhimurium and Yersinia enterocolitica were carried out preoperatively as well as on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days after the operation. The serum complement (C3 and C4) concentrations were determined at the same intervals. It was found that after blood transfusion the bactericidic activity of sera and the serum C3 complement concentrations were increased. In contrast the killing ability of leukocytes was suppressed.
