This leucocyte adhesion deficiency-1 (LAD-1) results in decreased adhesion, impaired chemotaxis and minimal bactericidal function. Monocyte activity is also impaired. Affected animals suffe from recurrent bacterial and fungal infections without purulent inflammation. There is frequently a peripheral neutrophila, +/- a left shift and monocytosis. This condition has been reported in Irish Setters and Holstein cattle. | This leucocyte adhesion deficiency-1 (LAD-1) results in decreased adhesion, impaired chemotaxis and minimal bactericidal function.
