[The functional activity of neutrophilic granulocytes in patients with erysipelas]

Dynamic cytochemical studies of neutrophilic granulocyte functional activities in erysipelas patients have revealed that reduced level of cationic proteins and unbalanced activities of the respiratory enzymes help assess the disease severity, and if these disorders persist during the convalescence period and between the recurrences, they indicate a reduction of the nonspecific resistance and help predict the recurrences of the condition.
