Neutrophil Functions in Acne conglobata

Abstract: Chemotaxis, random migration, phagocytosis, spontaneous and stimulated NBT reduction were evaluated in neutrophüs from the peripheral blood of 8 patients with acne conglobata and were found to be normal. Only 2 patients had an increased spontaneous NBT reduction, and another exhibited a defect in neutrophil adhesiveness. On this basis, intrinsic defects of the major neutrophil functions, as evaluated in vitro, can be excluded in acne conglobata.

“…Enhanced chemotactic and random migratory activities have been reported by some,29 but others find activity at normal levels 30. In general, phagocytic activities appear normal for bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus 30. Lee and Shalita10 have indicated that some patients with severe acne have a marked depression in their neutrophil chemotaxis, while in other patients chemotaxis is increased.…”
