(2,3-3-,3 mmol/L) in 7,7%. Three times high transaminases appeared in 46% of children. The level of chaemostasis was reduced in 11,5% of children. Half of the total number children had the higher values of urea and creatinine. Hyperproteinorachia in liquor was 27% and hypoglycorachia was 19,3%. Metabolic acidosis was present in 61,5%.
