The Inflammation Meter: Novel Technology to Detect the Presence of Infection/Inflammation in Patients without Leukocytosis but with Increased Leukocyte Adhesiveness/Aggregation

Abstract

The lack of a leukocytic response in a patient with nonviral infection/inflammation is by no means a sign of a less inflammatory response. The increased state of leukocyte adhesiveness/aggregation might help to disclose the presence of inflammation in these individuals.
