[Characteristics of the phagocytic reaction of the neutrophils in healthy children and children with acute bronchitis and varying sensitivity to tuberculin].
The feature of blood neutrophils to phagocyte BCG Mycobacterium and Staphylococcus in healthy children and those with acute bronchitis having both positive and negative tuberculin tests was analysed. Healthy children with an altered tuberculin response demonstrate an intensified phagocytic Myco. reaction and a relative inhibition of staphylococcal phagocytosis. In case of acute bronchitis, there is no increase in the overall absorbing capacity of neutrophils, typical of the tuberculin-negative children, and consequently, the detected feature of the phagocytosis is eliminated. The absence of variations in the total phagocytic response of the affected children is considered as a decrease of their adaptation potential. It is presumed that such an immunological status can predetermine the course of respiratory diseases and be the cause of tuberculous infection reactivation with intercurrent diseases.
