title: [Significance of leukocyte receptors in posttraumatic bone infection (author's transl)].
abstract: Leukocytes from patients suffering from chronic posttraumatic bone infection have a decreased phagocytic ability. We therefore investigated IgG and C3 receptors on leukocytes from these patients. Our findings presented in this study show a decrease or functional C3 receptors, whilst the IgG receptor system remains intact. At the same time complement activity in the patients' serum was raised.
