摘要：
The phagocytic and killing functions of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) and monocytes in patients with culturally and serologically proven Chlamydia trachomatis urogenital infections, and the distribution of peripheral blood T cell subsets in the same patients were analysed. A significant impairment of PMNs function was observed in infected patients as compared to the control group, whereas the monocyte function was not affected. In addition, a decrease of CD4+ cells frequency was observed in these patients. Since the PMNs are the most prominent cells observed at the site of C. trachomatis infection, we suggest that a defect of PMNs function may play a role in the host susceptibility to C. trachomatis.
