[The assessment of the functional activity of peripheral blood neutrophils in patients with odontogenic phlegmons].
To objectively assess the status of patients with odontogenic phlegmons their peripheral blood neutrophils were investigated. Functional activity of these cells was studied in 151 patients with odontogenic phlegmons and the data compared to those in 145 normal subjects. Assessment of leukocyte phagocytic activity by routine methods widely used in clinical practice did not show correlations of this parameter with the severity of the disease clinical course. These studies just showed the general changes in neutrophilic functional activity associated with an inflammation. Thorough studies of neutrophilic functional activity helped the authors develop a new method for assessment of leukocytic phagocytic activity. The results of the new method permitted a sufficiently objective evaluation of the disease severity which is necessary for a correct choice of the treatment policy and method.
