Neutrophils form the first line of host defense from infections by bacterial and fungal pathogens. Whenever there is any break in the integrity of a body surface, it is the capacity to generate an acute inflammatory response with rapid accumulation of neutrophils at a site of injury that provides the body’s first defense against infections. Maintenance of this protective force requires the steady production of neutrophils for killing and removing microorganisms and destroying their toxic products (1,2).
