Analysis of autofluorescence in polymorphonuclear neutrophils: a new tool for early infection diagnosis.

Diagnosing bacterial infection (BI) remains a challenge for the attending physician. An ex vivo infection model based on human fixed polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) gives an autofluorescence signal that differs significantly between stimulated and unstimulated cells. We took advantage of this p...
