Abstract
Neutrophils are thought to play an important role in the host defensive system against bacterial infections. In order to evaluate the oxidative metabolism of neutrophils, luminoldependent chemiluminescence of peripheral blood neutrophils and leukocytes obtained from patients with acute oral bacterial infections was investigated in this study.The results were as follows:1. Chemiluminescence of leukocytes and neutrophils obtained from patients was activated when compared with normal volunteers2. Chemiluminescence of neutrophils was significantly correlative with that of leukocytes.3. Chemiluminescence measurement by using leukocytes is sufficiently useful in utilizing for clinical diagnosis.
