  • Title: The uncertain role of the neutrophil in increased permeability pulmonary edema.
    Author: Glauser FL, Fairman RP.
    Journal: Chest; 1985 Oct; 88(4):601-7. PubMed ID: 3899532.
    Abstract:
    The intrapulmonic accumulation of neutrophils is a relatively common finding in certain animal models of increased permeability pulmonary edema and in humans with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. The release of toxic oxygen radicals from these cells can result in acute lung injury. Whether these cells mediate the increased permeability in all models of increased permeability pulmonary edema remains controversial. This review will examine the role of the neutrophils in various models of increased permeability pulmonary edema.
