Differing phagocytic function of monocytes and neutrophils in Chagas' cardiopathy according to the presence or absence of congestive heart failure Diferenciada função de monócitos e neutrófilos na cardiopatia chagásica segundo a presença ou ausência de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva

Differing phagocytic function of monocytes and neutrophils in Chagas' cardiopathy according to the presence or absence of congestive heart failure Diferenciada função de monócitos e neutrófilos na cardiopatia chagásica segundo a presença ou ausência de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva

We evaluated the in vitro phagocytic function and the production of microbicidal oxygen radicals by monocytes and neutrophils of 9 Chagas' heart disease subjects with heart failure and 9 without the syndrome in comparison with 11 healthy subjects, by assessing phagocytosis of Saccharomyces cere...
