Leucocyte alkaline phosphatase in neonatal infections.
نویسنده
چکیده
The leucocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score was estimated in healthy and infected neonates. A leucocyte band count was also done simultaneously. The infected group showed a significant (P < 0.001) decrease in the LAP score and a significant (P < 0.001) increase in the band count. These findings are discussed.

Leucocyte alkaline phosphatase in neonatal infections SUBHASH
Introduction Interest in the activity of alkaline phosphatase of human leucocytes has grown rapidly with the increasing number of reports demonstrating significant shifts of activity in different clinical states. Leucocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP), determined by cytochemical methods, is increased in bacterial infections of the adult, but to the best of the author's knowledge, there are no dat...
متن کاملCharacterization of leucocyte alkaline phosphatase in normal subjects and under different physiological and pathological conditions.
Leucocyte alkaline phosphatase activity was determined in both cell homogenates and cell extracts. Leucocytes were obtained from normal controls, pregnant females, and patients with various haematological disorders. Enzyme activity presented in terms of phosphorus per minute per 10 neutrophils was more in agreement with the reported cytochemical data in both normal and pathological cases, than ...
متن کاملThe value of leucocyte alkaline phosphatase determinations in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
Leucocyte alkaline phosphatase activity has been determined in a normal group, a group of pregnant patients, and a group of patients with ectopic pregnancy.A great rise in alkaline phosphatase occurred in pregnant patients in their third trimester, but the results were only slightly raised in the ectopic group. Five of six consecutive cases gave results which fell within the normal range. The m...
متن کاملDistribution of alkaline phosphatase in the serum proteins in hypophosphatasia.
A patient with hypophosphatasia and her relatives, including an affected brother, were studied with regard to serum alkaline phosphatase levels, phosphoethanolamine excretion, leucocyte alkaline phosphatase, blood group genes, and alkaline phosphatase distribution in the serum protein fractions. The pattern of alkaline phosphatase distribution in the serum protein fractions was normal both in t...
متن کاملExtreme Elevation of Alkaline Phosphatase in a Pregnancy Complicated by Gestational Diabetes and Infant with Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia
There have been few case reports of isolated elevation of alkaline phosphatase beyond the normal physiologic amount with subsequent return to baseline after delivery. Here we present a similar case of extreme elevation of alkaline phosphatase in a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes and subsequently by neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT).
