  • Title: [Effect of gold therapy in rheumatoid arthritis on leukopoiesis and granulocyte phagocytosis].
    Author: Nowotny P, Konrad H, Preussner S, Bast G, Keysser M, Günther I.
    Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1976; 103(5):719-25. PubMed ID: 64413.
    Abstract:
    In 12 patients with rheumatoid arthritis the investigations of leukopoiesis and granulocytic phagocytosis were carried out before and after a gold therapy. A marked reduction of granulocytic phagocytosis could be observed here which decreased after the gold therapy, yet remained below the values of a normal collective. Partly contrary informations are discussed. The disturbance of the phagocytosis capacity of granulocytes may possibly be due to a rheumatic factor.
