abstract = {Quantification of neutrophil counts is the most relevant
assessment of cellular immunity in clinical practice.
Patients with neutropenia are considered at risk and are
categorized according to its severity. The incidence of
febrile neutropenia varies, but patients with acute myeloid
leukemia are traditionally considered at high risk,
especially following myelotoxic treatments. To provide
additional functional parameters, we investigated the ex
vivo migration properties and morphology of neutrophils in
10 patients with acute myeloid leukemia using single-cell
video-microscopy and discovered, in addition to neutropenia,
highly pathological neutrophil migration patterns and
polarization defects in patients with untreated acute
myeloid leukemia. Neutrophil speed was the most sensitive
parameter and significantly lower at leukemia diagnosis
(9.067 vs 15.810 µm/min, P = 0.0025) compared to healthy
controls (n = 46). Hematological remission was associated
with improved neutrophil migration profiles, but these
ultimately normalized only after hematopoietic cell
transplantation. Five patients were followed up for
long-term effects of hematopoietic cell transplantation for
up to 24 mo. This is the first longitudinal ex vivo
neutrophil migration study in patients with acute myeloid
leukemia, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell
transplantation. It identified functional neutrophil
impairments beyond routine quantitative assessments, adding
to the well-known quantitative impairment of neutropenia.
HCT can reestablish functional neutrophils with healthy
migration profiles in these patients.},
