Abstract

Background and objectives: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are the first line of host resistance against infections. Diabetics are prone to both bacterial and fungal infections. The present study evaluated the phagocytic and killing activity of PMN in diabetics. Material and methods: Females aged 30 to 50 years with and without diabetes mellitus were enrolled. Functions of PMN were assessed by determining the phagocytic rate, phagocytic index and killing of C. albicans by PMN. Results: A total of 36 diabetic patients and 15 age matched non-diabetic healthy individuals were enrolled. Phagocytosis and killing of C. albicans by PMN were significantly (p<0.05) lower in patients with diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic healthy individuals (86.5±14.6 vs. 94.5±4.2; 56.7±23.8 vs. 81.5±24.2). Conclusion: Phagocytic and killing functions of PMN were significantly reduced in patients with diabetes mellitus. IMC J Med Sci. 2024; 18(1):008.
