Neutrophils in Human Diseases

Malech, Harry L., Gallin, John I.·1987·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

HUMAN neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) provide an effective host defense against bacterial and fungal infection, but they are also important in the pathogenesis of tissue damage in certain noninfectious diseases. Some important events in neutrophil function that will be discussed in this review are shown in Figure 1.Mild to moderate abnormalities of neutrophil function have been reported in many acquired and congenital diseases.1 2 3 4 5 In most of these disorders, the biochemical or morphologic basis of the defects is unknown and the relevance of the neutrophil defect to the manifestations of the disease is unclear. In contrast, persons with marked neutropenia6 or . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
