title: [Immune reactions in chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis. Current status determination].
abstract: Investigations in patients with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis could demonstrate several deficits in immunologic response: Phagocytic activity of phagocytes is lowered accompanied by a functional deminution of leukocyte receptors for C3. Intracellular killing is diminished. Investigations concerning T lymphocyte subpopulations verified a decrease in total T cells and helper/inducer T cells. Dysfunctions in specific humoral immune response are still debatable.
