[The nitro-blue-tetrazolium test in acne vulgaris (9-12-77)].
41 patients with different AV stages were studied with the quantitative NAT test. In those cases where there was an inflammatory process (stages III and IV) it was positive, while in was negative. The authors consider the relation between this test and the positive Lymphoblastic Transformation Test to PA, which makes evident a coordinate action of the immune specific system and the granulocytic one. This facts show that AV at the inflammatory stage is an immunologic systemic process and not only a local one.
