The dynamics of the leukocyte index of intoxication (LII) and the blood-cell index (BCI) was studied in 2756 patients with erysipelas. Both indexes, raised at the height of the disease, are lowering under the therapy influence. At the purulent-inflammatory complications beginning the LII and BCI level remains high or raises 2-3 days before occurrence of clinical signs of complication. The application of above-mentioned indexes for prognostication and diagnosis is possible.
