Abstract

In this study the activity of neutrophils, measured using the chemiluminescence tests, was estimated in 91 children with food allergy. It was shown that the average chemiluminescence values without as well as after stimulation by FMLP, PMA and NZ were considerably higher in children with allergy in comparison to children from the control group.
