It was found that the increase in the serum level of lipid peroxidation products in patients with meningococcal meningitis correlated with the severity of the disease. The dependence between the level of lipid peroxidation products and the activity of cell enzymes in the serum has been investigated. During the first day of the disease GOT activity was strongly increased, while the level of lipid peroxidation products was 1560 +/- 237 mumol/l, which may be of a diagnostic value.
