[Leukocyte function in patients with hyperthyroidism].
In 20 patients with hyperthyroidism the behaviour of the agglomeration of leucocytes as well as of the adhesivity before and after the methimazol therapy was investigated. The agglomeration of leucocytes was directly inhibited neither by the overfunction of the thyroid gland nor by methimazol. By means of a stimulation test an undisturbed ability of leucocytic activation in hyperthyroidism could be proved. The adhesivity at the glass slide, however, was slightly restricted in untreated hyperthyroidism. It normalized under thyrostatic therapy.
