140 healthy individuals and 93 sick with acute dysentery were subjected to an examination by spontaneous and by bacterial preparations stimulated reaction with nitroblue tetrazole (NBT test). Indicators in healthy persons were normal in the spontaneous, and increased in the NBT test, stimulated by bacterial preparations. Indicators of the spontaneous NBT test in patients with acute dysentery were raised with a maximum in the period of early convalescence. Stimulation by a live shigella culture--the dysentery vaccine--revealed by means of Sonne diagnostic high, and when endotoxin from Serratia marcescens and dysenterin was used as an inductor, mild indicators of NBT test activity. When a polyvalent agglutinating dysentery serum was used as a stimulator, the activity increased considerably, and a simultaneous use of serum and vaccine had an inhibiting effect on the indicators of the stimulated NBT test. The obtained results testify the sufficient high reserve possibilities of leucocytes towards complete phagocytosis and the efficiency of the NBT test, stimulated by bacterial preparations for the study of functional and metabolic activity of leucocytes in the process of acute bacterial dysentery.
