title: [Phagocyte function deficiency determined by methods using chemotaxis and chemiluminescence].
abstract: The chemotactically oriented and not oriented migration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes was examined in 21 patients with acute ulcerative gingivitis, using the method of assessment of chemotaxis under an agarose layer. In the same group of patients also the chemiluminescence of leucocytes was assessed. In 16 patients the chemotactically oriented and non-oriented cell migration was reduced. In four patients both types of activity were enhanced. The chemiluminescent leucocyte activity was reduced in all patients of this group.
