Table 7: Comparison of blood counts in patients with normal (N) or depressed (D) chemotaxis 24 hrs after X-irradiation. The chemotaxis numbers present the mean number of migrated PMN per high-power field after counting 20 high-power fields ± standard deviation. The numbers of blood cells present mean number (K/l) ± standard deviation.
