Pathogenic significance of sludge-phenomenon and microthrombogenesis syndrome of influenza in older patients

The blood flow characteristics have been studied by method of biomicroscopy of conjunctival vessels in 44 patients aged from 51 to 65 with noncomplicated moderately severe influenza. The blood flow disturbance has been detected which is primarily caused by the blood sludge phenomenon and by the microthrombogenesis syndrome. The full recovery has not been observed even a month after the beginning of the disease. This might be the risk factor for the development of complications and requires appropriate adjustments.
