title: [Characteristics of the functional activity of leukocytes in diabetes mellitus].
abstract: A study was made of the mechanisms of leucocyte phagocytic and bactericidal activity with relation to Staph, aureus and the NBT-test in simple and simulated variants in 71 patients with diabetes mellitus. A compensatory elevation of the phagocytic index and the phagocytic number was found in all the patients with a decrease in phagocytosis completion which testified to the internal defects of bactericidal activity which, according to the NBT-test results, consisted in insufficient activity of oxidation enzymes. The stimulated NBT-test showed a decrease in phagocytic potentialities in patients with diabetes mellitus. Phagocytosis defects in type I and type II diabetes mellitus were more noticeable in a severe and labile course of the disease.
