abstract: The various "in vitro" tests for evaluating polymorphonuclear leucocyte function in children with recurrent infections are described and the different clinical conditions caused or accompanied by defects in polymorphonuclear function are summarized briefly. The necessity of correct interpretation of the results of the laboratory tests used in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected immunodeficiency is stressed.
