[The response of blood neutrophils (the PPN test) to pertussis allergen in children with pertussis and children immunized with ADPT vaccine].

The authors present materials on the study of the reaction of blood neutrophils (PPN test) to pertussis allergen in children suffering from pertussis and immunized with ADPT vaccine. Results obtained in examining 111 children showed that the PPN test was specific and could be used for assessment of allergic manifestations in children suffering from pertussis or immunized with ADPT vaccine. Taking into consideration the harmlessness and expressiveness of the PPN test it can be recommended for studying in dynamics in any age groups.
