Sulemic-Sedimentary Reaction

The sulum-sediment reaction is a method for diagnosing infectious diseases of bacterial and fungal etiology, which is based on the ability of bacteria and yeast to form blue inclusions when incubated in the presence of copper sulfate. This study is prescribed in the presence of serological indicators of inflammation, severe intoxication symptoms in the form of fever, weakness, aches in muscles and joints. Using this reaction, purulent lesions of the skeletal system, larynx, lungs and peritonitis are detected. Copper sulfate, entering the environment with the pathogen, forms a fine suspension of blue metallic alum. This test is considered in conjunction with bacterial culture and blood culture. If the result is positive, it may be necessary to determine allergy-specific markers to establish sensitivity.

Indications for the study: suspected tuberculosis of the lungs or larynx. Acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, pleurisy or ulcerative gingivitis. Gonorrhea with scant manifestations of cystitis. Endocarditis, pyelonephritis or nephrolithiasis. Allergic conjunctivitis, skin dermatitis or allergic rhinitis. Menstrual irregularities in women or impotence in men. Hyperplasia of the thyroid gland. Connective tissue lesions.

The analysis is prescribed during the current course of treatment or prescribed some time after completion. Do not carry out immediately after ultrasound, endoscopic examination, radiography, fluorography or physiotherapy. Avoid in pregnant women or children under one year of age and further as necessary, in accordance with the recommendations of a specialist.
