Chemotactic, phagocytic and intracellular killing activities of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) were investigated in vitro in 49 patients suffering from recurrent bouts of herpes simplex. A slight impairment of chemotactic activity and a markedly reduced capacity of killing Candida albicans blastospores were revealed. Phagocytic capacity and NADH-dependent oxidase activity of PMNL proved to be normal. The results point to an alteration of some PMNL functions in these patients.Downloads
