Abstract
The purpose of the study was to develop clinical and immunological features and principles of immunoprotective therapy for nonspecific ulcerative colitis (UC), depending on the severity and form of the disease. All patients were examined according to the standards: biochemical, radiological, endoscopic (colonofibroscopy), immunological, bacteriological, and histological examination of vital colon biopsy specimens. Thus, our studies have shown that changes in cellular and humoral immunity in UC, and the functional activity of UC are associated with the action of the pathological process in the colon, the severity of the condition, and the form of the disease.
