Abstract
A cellular defect associated with decreased bactericidal activity of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte has been found in a 2½ yr old Negro boy with the typical clinical and pathological findings of chronic granulomatous disease. Unlike previously described patients his polymorphonuclear leukocytes were shown to undergo apparently normal degranulation and vacuole formation after phagocytosis. Metabolic studies of the leukocytes indicated a failure to increase oxygen consumption with phagocytosis or to reduce Nitroblue tetrazolium dye. These metabolic abnormalities are identical with those previously reported in patients with chronic granulomatous disease. Two additional patients with chronic granulomatous disease have also been found to have apparently adequate degranulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes after phagocytosis. Our studies suggest that failure of degranulation may not be a necessary part of this functional leukocyte abnormality.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
