Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Chemotaxis, phagocytic and intracellular killing activities of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) were investigated in vitro in 7 patients suffering from the acute phase of Sweet's syndrome. A moderate but consistent impairment of neutrophilic chemotactic activity (NCA) was revealed in all patients. Intracellular killing of blastospores of Candida albicans was diminished in 5/7 patients. Phagocytosis and oxidase activities were within normal levels. These results point to an alteration of some PMNL functions in the acute phase of Sweet's syndrome. |
