Prediction of postpartum purulent-septic complications using intradermal tests

Intradermal tests for functional assessment of T-cell immunity were performed on 95 women who gave birth. There were 39 women aged 19 to 24 years, 25 to 29 to 36, and 30 to 35 to 20. Bacterial allergens were injected at a dose of 0.1 ml on the inner surface of the forearm strictly intradermally at 7-8 cm apart. The results were evaluated after 24 h. The reaction was considered positive if the size of the infiltrate was equal or greater than 8 mm.
