[Phagocytic function of PMN granulocytes in a pediatric population with recurrent respiratory infections].
We have studied the Phagocytosis at 32 children who had recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRI). We used a easy method (Phagolux). The seventy-five percent (24/32) of children had a Phagocytosis and/or Opsonisation Deficit during or following the acute respiratory tract infection. All children (except for one who had a C3-deficit) reached normal parameters after (or al least) fourty-five days.
