In the period 1980-1986 in the II Department of Surgical Gynaecology, Medical Academy in Lublin 61 patients were treated with corticosteroids for chronic adnexitis. They were given prednisone (Encorton POLFA) 10 mg twice daily for 10 days. The clinical effect of regression of infiltrations was achieved in over half the cases. In the analysis of the clinical state, ESR value, leucocytosis and electrophoretic separation of serum proteins it was found that the effectiveness of the treatment was highest in the group of patients with initial ESR values greater than 10 mm after one hour. The mean values of white blood cell count before and after the treatment were without essential prognostic importance. The best results were found in patients without clinical evidence of acute inflammation but with alpha 2globulin proportion in electrophorogram typical for acute phase of inflammation.
