The aim of this study was to investigate PMN-chemiluminescence response as a measure of respiratory burst activity and the phagocytic PMN function "ingestion" with regard to metabolic control parameters in diabetes mellitus (d.m.) in comparison to healthy controls. Our findings demonstrated a significant reduction of chemiluminescence response and ingestion in diabetic patients compared to controls (p less than 0.01 resp.); further an inverse relation of metabolic control parameters in d.m. and PMN impairment, suggesting inhibitory effects on PMN function, thus leading or contributing at least in part to altered host defense.
