Popis: Patients with advanced lymphogranulomatosis were divided into two subgroups. One, including 9 patients was treated in the hospital, and the second, including 21 patients, was treated at out-patient department. Results of the treatment and its adverse reactions were not significantly different in patients treated on out-patient basis and in hospital. However, unfavourable effect of therapy on patient's psychological status (anxiety) was less expressed in out-patient conditions. Such a way of treatment enables also considerable savings related to the repeated hospitalizations.
