Abstract
Phagocyte function in immunosuppressed allograft recipients is regularly diminished and correlates to leucopenia in only 50% of cases. Significantly reduced phagocyte function carries a 50% risk of septic complications. Monitoring of phagocyte function can be helpful in assessing defense reserves in the compromised host.
