Examinations of the lymphoid tissue and values of productive inflammation (granulomatosis) are most informative in the assessment of immunity intensity in infectious diseases. Histochemical, enzyme-morphological, immunohistochemical studies done by light and electron microscopy with quantitation of the results (morphometry) determine in great detail the dynamics of immunity, formation of the secondary immunological insufficiency, development of immune response deficiency to a definite bacterial antigen. Currently these methods are used only for solution of particular problems. Algorhythms for the assessment of the structural signs of immunogenesis should be developed for infectious immunomorphology.
