Abstract
Deficient phagocytic function is associated with increased susceptibility to infection. Cutaneous lesions are prominent clinical features (Quie and Cates, 1977; Quie et al., 1978; Dahl, 1978). Although cause-and-effect relationships are unclear, there is little doubt that phagocyte dysfunction contributes to the severity of the cutaneous infection (Miles et al., 1957).
