An examination of 110 patients with septic injuries of the lungs (acute pneumonia without purulent destruction, acute abscessing pneumonia, gangrene and lung abscess) has established that lung parenchyma plays an important role in the regulation of functional properties of thrombocytes. Growth of unfavourable thrombocytic lesions were shown to accompany an increase of sizes of purulent-destructive lesions of the lungs. The suppression of coagulolytic and barrier function of the lungs was found to be associated with the appearance of thrombotic complications.
