Photoelectroplethysmography of the skin of the end phalanx of the right hand thumb was used in 100 children with grave forms of acute intestinal infections and in 31 healthy babies to study changes in peripheral circulation. The patients demonstrated the lowering of the skin blood content, in proportion to the degree of dehydration, as well as an increase of postcapillary resistance to the blood flow in the skin and subcutaneous fat, seen not only in the acute disease period but also in the stage of early convalescence. |
