Phagocytosis and adhesiveness of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes were studied in patients diagnosed with generalized rapidly progressive (form A) periodontitis. All patients belonged to a single family and were first degree relatives. In the patients' leukocytes there was a statistically significant reduction in phagocytic index and adhesiveness, in comparison with leukocytes from controls. However, adhesiveness approached control values in the presence of autologous serum, thus implying that serologic factors may enhance this function in patients with this type of periodontitis.

D010518 Periodontitis Inflammation and loss of connective tissues supporting or surrounding the teeth. This may involve any part of the PERIODONTIUM. Periodontitis is currently classified by disease progression (CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS; AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS) instead of age of onset.
