defective neutrophil mobility in ten patients with vitamin d-deficient rickets
Authors
abstract
we studied the immune system, especially the chemotactic activity of neutrophils, in ten patients with vitamin d-deficient rickets and compared the results with ten healthy controls of matched age. among all immune system factors, the chemotactic studies persistantly showed remarkable deficiency in leukocyte mobility, both random motion and migration. when compared with controls, the findings were significant. it was postulated that the increased susceptibility of the patients with vitamin d-deficient rickets to infection is mainly due to defective neutrophil mobility

DEFECTIVE NEUTROPHIL MOBILITY IN TEN PATIENTS WITH VITAMIN D-DEFICIENT RICKETS
We studied the immune system, especially the chemotactic activity of neutrophils, in ten patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets and compared the results with ten healthy controls of matched age. Among all immune system factors, the chemotactic studies persistantly showed remarkable deficiency in leukocyte mobility, both random motion and migration. When compared with controls, the findi...

Neutrophil mobility in 60 patients with vitamin D-deficient rickets is studied, and the patients are followed after therapy by 600,000 units vitamin D. 28 of 60 patients (46%), had low chemotaxis for neutrophils before vitamin D injection (migration), and 36 of 60 (60%) had low random mobility. The results showed a significant improvement after vitamin D therapy furthermore, the level of c...

Vitamin D deficient rickets is prevalent in Turkey and a considerable number of children are at risk of growth retardation, impaired bone formation and fracture. In order to check whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism relates to the vitamin D deficient rickets, we analyzed VDR gene FokI, TaqI and ApaI polymorphisms in 24 Turkish vitamin D deficient rickets patients and 100 healthy ...
