Main parameters of the cellular and humoral immunity were determined within the 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10th days of the drainage of the thoracic lymphatic duct in 7 patients with pancreanecrosis and 10 patients with the rectum cancer. The general number of lymphocytes and concentration of the main immunoglobulin fractions in the peripheral blood and lymph within 5 days does not substantially change. At the expense of loss with the lymph there was a tendency to decrease T-immune cells and A-fractions of immunoglobulins in the peripheral blood.
