[Leukocyte nitric oxide status in patients with chronic recurrent furunculosis]
Abstract:
The basal and in vitro pyrogenal-stimulated nitric oxide-producing capabilities of leukocytes versus their oxygen-producing and phagocytic activity were studied in patients with chronic recurrent furunculosis during remission (n=62) and exacerbation (n=12). The basal nitric oxide-producing activity of leukocytes was found to be similar. The stimulated leukocyte cultures from the patients showed mainly a perverted reaction--suppression of nitric oxide production instead of its increase detectable in donors. A direct correlation was found between the nitric oxide-producing activity of leukocytes and the results of HCT test in healthy individuals and patients during exacerbation rather than remission.
