Applying this approach by studying the immune system in only 4 of the 48 cases were noted wound infection.

Changes characteristics of IgG (765,4±14,0 – before treatment and 969,4±12,9 – after treatment) and IgM (546,5±15,6 and 700,4±17,3, respectively) were significant by comparison with immunoglobulin A, which had not a statistically significant change after the sessions of laser therapy (p>0.05).

The receiving data indicate that ILEB, begun before the amputation, and after its performance in the next 7-10 days, providing a significant change in immune status of the patients.
