The application of leukocyte mass against the background of altered reactivity of the organism was followed by positive changes of clinical and immunological data by as early as the 2-3d days of the postoperative period. The level of antistaphylococcal immunity was preserved after completion of the course of leukotransfusions. It results in complete arrest of the inflammation in the mammary gland, excludes the development of recurrences and various pyo-septic complications. Leukotransfusion is not only a method of substitution therapy but also an effective immune-correcting factor.
