In Vitro Bactericidal Capacity of Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes: Diminished Activity in Chronic Granulomatous Disease of Childhood *
AUTOR(ES)
Quie, P. G.
RESUMO
Diminished bactericidal capacity was found to be characteristic of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from five children with the clinical syndrome of granulomatous disease of childhood. The PMN from these children demonstrated nearly normal phagocytic capacity, and the majority of viable bacteria, after 2 hours of incubation in the phagocytosis system, were found associated with leukocytes.
