Abstract
Peripheral blood smears from healthy persons and patients with pneumon ia and pulmonary tuberculosis were used for a cytochemical study of me tals in neutrophils with the help of dithisone and chlortetracyclin. T he content of metals in these cells was increased in pneumonia and act ive tuberculosis, but was normal or decreased in non-active pulmonary tuberculosis. It is concluded that cytochemical reactions for metals m ay be used in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases.
