title: [Generation of reactive oxygen species by peripheral blood neutrophils in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: Oxygen metabolism of neutrophils was measured using chemiluminescence method in patient with pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients were included into three groups. Group I--20 patients (10 men, 10 women) aged 24-74 years (mean 48.3 years) with pulmonary tuberculosis BK(+). Group II--20 patients (15 men, 5 women) aged 19-67 years (mean 45.1 years) with pulmonary tuberculosis BK(0). The control group consisted 16 clinically healthy persons (12 men, 4 women) aged 28-59 years (mean 42.5 years). Blood samples (5 ml) were collected for examination from cubital vein early morning before breakfast. A luminometer 1251 coupled with an IBM PC AT compatible computer was used for the measurement of chemiluminescence. The chemiluminescence of non-stimulated neutrophils and those stimulated by a receptor stimulus formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) as well as an extrareceptor stimulus phorbol myristate acete (PMA) was measured. The results of our study demonstrated that chemiluminescence of non-stimulated as well as stimulated by fMLP and PMA neutrophils was lower in comparison to the values of chemiluminescence in the control group.
