Positive NBT in acute MI signals neutrophil activation; leaves open diagnostic utility without controlled validation.
Does the nitroblue tetrazolium test show neutrophil activation in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
The nitroblue tetrazolium test is positive in acute myocardial infarction, indicating neutrophil activation related to the age of infarction and maximal neutrophilic infiltration.
Lauter et al. (1973) studied this question.
