[Microphagal system in inflammatory and infectious processes].
Abstract
The information accrued by now concerning disorders in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and the system of serum factors determining leukotaxis and PMNL bactericidal properties in inflammatory-infectious processes (IIP) of various origin is presented. Generalization of the available information suggests that IIPs develop not in the highest manifestations of the PMNL system phagocytic properties but not infrequently in the presence of its deficiency. The structurally-functionally undisturbed PMNL system favours good health. Disorders in the PMNL system are the structural-functional equivalent of clinical concepts: "reduced defence capacities of the host", "reduced nonspecific antibacterial resistance", etc. Sepsis is characterized by extreme disorders in the PMNL system.
