[Defects of neutrophil function in chronic gastroduodenitis in children].
At present, chronic gastroduodenitis (CGD) occupies one ofthe leading places in the structure of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in children. In the etiology of CGD, along with the leading pathogenic Helicobacterpylori (HP), the role of the fungal flora increased. The aim of the work was to evaluate the functional activity of neutrophils in children with the CGD, associated with HP and Candida albicans. Among 110 children in the age from 7 to 17 years with chronic gastroduodenitis, associated with Helicobacter pylory(HP), as well as the association of HP with Candida albicans and the markers of secondary immune insufficiency, a study of the phagocytic activity and immune phenotype of neutrophils by flow cytofluorimetry was conducted. Differentiated peculiarities of the phagocytic activity of neutrophils in association with bacterial pathogens (HP) and fungal flora were identified. The transformation of the immune phenotype was combined with a significant depression of the phagocytic and microbicidal functions, more pronounced with the association of HP and Candida albicans. Circulating mannano protein antigen of Candida albicans influenced on the surface of phenotype of neutrophils, increasing the expression of protopathic and HLADR-receptors, and decreasing the expression of adhesion receptors and cytolysis. Thus, in case of chronic gastroduodenitis in children, there was a considerable transformation of the phenotype of neutrophil with differentiated characteristics at the association with bacterial (HP) pathogens and fungal flora. The obtained data should be taken into account when carrying out medical activities, and the doctors should include in the composition of complex therapy of CGD, associated with Candida albicans, drugs, aimed at immunocorrection of the identified violations
