[Hyaluronic acid and hyaluronidase in influenza].
Hyaluronidase and hyaluronic acid activities are markedly changed in influenza, these changes directly depending on the severity of the inflammatory process that depends on the presence of bacterial complications in influenza. The authors' findings correlate with the literature data on the blood mucolytic system status in various infectious diseases. The results recommend measurements of hyaluronidase and hyaluronic acid activities as an additional test for the early diagnosis of influenza complications.
