    Abstract:
    The localization of bound IgG, IgA, IgM and component C3 of the complement in the focus of skin lesion in patients with different forms of erysipelas has been studied by the method of direct immunofluorescence. The presence of fixed immune complexes and component C3 in the affected areas of the skin at the acute period of the disease and their absence in the healthy areas of the skin have been established, which seems to be indicative of the presence of the local immunocomplex process in erysipelas. This process is one of the mechanisms of erysipelatous inflammation.
