Abstract

The neutrocyte mobilization test was performed in 10 children to investigate the bone marrow function during viral hepatitis. In the initial stage pathologic test results were obtained in 6 out of 10 patients. As the hepatitis improved the test responses normalized, or initially adequate responses increased. These findings are discussed as a manifestation of reversible bone marrow suppression during viral hepatitis.

Zusammenfassung

Untersuchung der Knochenmarksfunktion mittels des Neutrophilen-Mobilisationstestes im Verlaufe viraler hepatitis bei 10 Patienten. In den ersten Erkrankungswochen wurden bei 6 Patienten pathologische Testergebnisse gefunden. Gleichlaufend mit der Heilung der Hepatitis normalisierten sich die Testergebnisse, oder anfänglich schon entsprechende Testresultate verbesserten sich. Als Erklärung wird eine reversible Knochenmarksdepression im Verlaufe viraler Hepatitiden angenommen.
