The abnormal appearance and number of granulocytes in the various leukemias suggest that phagocytosis by granulocytes in all stages of maturity might be so disturbed that leukemic patients might become more susceptible to bacterial infections than normal persons. Phagocytic activity among immature granulocytes is only slight but increases with maturity and becomes prominent among metamyelocytes and mature leukemic neutrophils (1-4). It has not been established, however, whether mature leukemic neutrophils are equal in phagocytic activity to normal mature neutrophils. Such a comparison has been attempted by Hirschberg (5) who concluded that the mature neutrophils in leukemic blood displayed less phagocytic activity than mature neutrophils in normal blood. Her results are open to question, however, because comparisons were made between phagocytic systems which were not uniform with respect to: 1) The number of phagocytes per unit volume; 2) quantity of opsonin; and 3) character of suspending menstruum. She also neglected to take into account the possible effect of antileukemic treatment on the phagocytic properties of leukocytes.
