[Evaluation of phagocytic and bactericidal activities of neutrophils in peripheral blood of patients with anemia due to iron deficit].
Phagocytic and bactericidal properties of neutrophils have been evaluated in 20 women with anemia due to iron deficit. Twenty healthy women in corresponding age and domicile served as a control group. No statistically significant difference in both phagocytic and bactericidal properties of peripheral blood neutrophils have been noted in both groups. A decrease in plasma bactericidal activity has been sen in patients with anemia due to iron deficit. It may be one of the causes of increased susceptibility to infections noted in patients with plasma iron deficit.
