[Oxygen-dependent phagocytosis in patients with tinea pedis during treatment].

Clinico-cytochemical (with the use of NBT test) studies of 27 patients with T. rubrum-induced trichophytosis of the soles has demonstrated a functional imbalance of the peripheral blood phagocytizing cells. Reduced neutrophil activity is associated with a compensatory elevation of mononuclear fungicidal potential. Chlorophyllipt administration corrected the metabolic shifts.
