title: Neutrophil function in coeliac disease.
abstract: Neutrophil function of 23 patients with coeliac disease, consisting of 13 untreated and 10 on treatment with a gluten-free diet, was examined. The results obtained were compared with those from health volunteers. No significant differences were observed between the coeliac subjects and the control group in respect of the bactericidal ability of the polymorphs and the opsonic capacity of the serum.
