Clinical and immunologic study of 100 patients with combined and 320 patients with isolated craniocerebral injury showed that disorders of body reactivity occur in the acute period of polytrauma. The disorders may be compensated, subcompensated and decompensated. The surgical tactics and treatment of patients should be planned with due account for the person's general reactivity, as a result of which treatment will be individualized and applied in an adequate volume and optimum time. Tests for natural humoral immunity are suggested as criteria of the reactivity dynamics.
