    Abstract:
    Leukocytic index of intoxication (LII), number of leukocytes and lymphocytes in blood were compared with clinical symptoms and histological examination of removed organs in patients with acute pyodestructive diseases of abdominal organs. Correlation between LII and inflammation severity was revealed. It is also demonstrated that high LII with low level of lymphocytes is a negative prognostic sign.
