The migration of granulocytes from allergic and nonallergic infiltrations in patients with atopic asthma.
The granulocyte migration inhibition tests both in vivo and in vitro from allergic skin infiltrations were carried out in 30 patients with atopic asthma and in 20 healthy people used as a control. It was found that the migration of leukocytes from allergic skin infiltrations was defective with the lowest ability to migrate. Neutrophils comprised about 80% cells found in the cutaneous allergic infiltrations.
