Neutrophil function in lymphoreticular malignancy.

Neutrophil function has been assessed in 62 patients with lymphoreticular malignancy by means of the NBT test and an in vitro micro-organism killing technique. Normal or enhanced phagocytosis was found, the greatest enhancement being found in patients with disseminated disease (in the absence of inf...

description Neutrophil function has been assessed in 62 patients with lymphoreticular malignancy by means of the NBT test and an in vitro micro-organism killing technique. Normal or enhanced phagocytosis was found, the greatest enhancement being found in patients with disseminated disease (in the absence of infections). Candicidal capacity alone was depressed in 7 patients but 4 of these showed depressed cell-mediated immunity to Candida antigen. Splenectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy did not alter phagocytic function.
