Abstract
This study, in which zymosan-stimulated luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of leukocytes was used to examine the osmotic resistance and functional activity of peripheral blood leukocytes from 23 patients with purulent septic lesions and 11 healthy donors before and after exposure of these cells to a hypotonic medium (0.45% NaCl), showed that this medium stimulated their spontaneous chemiluminescence while reducting their reserve capacities. The effects of the hypotonic medium on cells from the patients were more strongly marked.
