[Fructosuria in pyodermitis].

Oscillopolarographic studies of fructosuria in 112 patients with pyodermatitis have helped assess their carbohydrate metabolism and, specifically, the enzymic function of the liver. 89.3% of patients have developed increased fructose and fructose diphosphate excretion, vs. the reference group. High levels of both fructose and fructose diphosphate in the urine are not specific for pyoderma and may occur in other infections; concomitant diseases are conducive to an increase of fructosuria. Administration of hemodez as part of combined therapy for pyodermatitis reduces fructose and fructose diphosphate excretion.
