Abstract
Two siblings with recurrent infections were found to have impaired neutrophil motility. The same association of infections (otitis media, bronchitis, chronic diarrhoea) has caused seven fatalities in the paternal side of the family, suggesting genetic implications. Bei zwei Geschweistern mit wiederholten Infektionen ist ein wahrscheinlich genetischer Schaden der Granulocyten-Chemotaxis gefunden worden. Durch Häufung von Infekten (Mittelohrentzündung, Bronchitis, chronischer Durchfall) sind sieben Geschwister in der väterlichen Familie in jungem Alter gestorben.Keywords
