Abstract
The function of microphages has been studied in vitro in a 5 year-old girl with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome. The results showed a weakness in chemotactic activity, a defect of intracellular killing of Staphylococcus aureus, and an almost normal phagocytosis but decreased intracellular killing of Candida aibicans by the microphages.Keywords
