[The role of the neutrophil link in phagocytosis in the pathogenesis of suppurative inflammatory complications in chronic myeloleukemia].

An evaluation was done of parameters of neutrophilic link of fagocytosis in 177 patients with chronic myeloleukemia during the course of the illness. All parameters characterizing the phagocyte reaction got reduced compared to normal findings, with the chronic myeloleukemia patients presenting with great size tumors manifesting somewhat more apparent reduction. Pyo-inflammatory processes were found to be most common among those persons presenting with manifest suppression of the phagocytosis function.
