[Quantitative characteristics of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction by the neutrophils in experimental systemic candidiasis].

Abstract

The quantitative study of the reduction capacity of neutrophils with respect to nitro blue tetrazolium in experimental systemic candidiasis has revealed an increase in this capacity within 20 days of the infection. The reduction capacity has been found to depend not only on the degree of the contamination of the body with Candida cells, but also on the stage of the inflammatory process.
