[Effect of lithium carbonate on the lymphocytes of epileptics].

Using acridine orange fluorochrome staining of fixed smears of peripheral blood the authors have investigated the lymphocyte functional activity in epileptic patients receiving the conventional anticonvulsive therapy including lithium carbonate. It has been established that the dynamics of the functional activity of lymphocytes in epileptic patients show no direct relationship with the therapeutic effect. Cytochemical parameters of the lymphocyte functional activity change in parallel with the clinical picture of the disease under the impact of treatment, i.e., they are directly correlated with the clinical pattern.

[Prognostication in epilepsy].

Using the method of a sequential analysis, the differential diagnosis of favourable and unfavourable forms of epilepsy was attempted. Preliminary results point to considerable difficulties encountered in predicting the course of epilepsy in view of the shortage and inadequacy of the commonly accepted clinical signs of epilepsy and the absence of a sufficient amount of paraclinical tests. They also indicate that the use of the cytochemical method for examining lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of epileptic patients seems to show promise as a prognostic test.
