Abstract
SummarySince their description by Metchnikoff in 1905, phagocytes have been increasingly recognized to be the entities that traffic to sites of infection and inflammation, engulf and kill infecting organisms, and clear out apoptotic debris all the while making antigens available and accessible to the lymphoid organs for future use. Therefore, phagocytes provide the gateway and the first check in host protection and immune response. Disorders in killing and chemotaxis lead not only to infection susceptibility, but also to autoimmunity. We aim to describe chronic granulomatous disease and the leukocyte adhesion deficiencies as well as myeloperoxidase deficiency and G6PD deficiency as paradigms of critical pathways.
