Abstract
The effects of UV irradiation [used in therapy of skin diseases] on granulocyte chemotaxis and nitroblue tetrazolium reduction activities were studied in healthy volunteers. An increase of polymorphonuclear chemotaxis takes place after 5 irradiations, while the nitroblue tetrazolium reduction activity remains practically unchanged.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
