[Assessment of peripheral blood monocyte function in pulmonary tuberculosis patients].

V A Shatrov, L V Kuznetsova, T I Belianovskaia

Abstract

As the result of the study of the peripheral blood monocyte function in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, the ingestive capacity of monocytes has been found to be suppressed, which indicates the pathological state of oxygen-dependent mechanisms governing the bactericidal activity of cells, the most pronounced disturbances of monocyte functions being observed in patients with fibrous-cavernous and disseminated tuberculosis.
