The results of employing intratissue (intraorganic) electrophoresis in a complex of therapeutic measures applied in patients with acute pneumonia with a grave course in young individuals (n = 195) versus homogeneous control group of patients (n = 50) in whom intratissue electrophoresis was not done, were as follows: the percentage of those discharged from hospital in the former group exceeded those among control by 15.9%, the average bed occupancy was reduced by 5 days, the number of persons whom sick leaves had been granted dropped by 9.9% and there were no dismissals from the Army whereas in the control group these amounted to 6%. The present method of treatment used in combination with other therapeutic modalities promotes undelayed resolution of an acute pneumonia and prevention of certain complications in this category of patients.
