Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) phagocytized and killed yeast-phase cells of Sporothrix schenckii in vitro in the presence of 10% unheated serum. The combination of H2O2, KI, and human PMNL myeloperoxidase was lethal to yeast-phase S. schenckii. The results of this investigation suggest that PMNLs may play an important role in host resistance to infection with S. schenckii.
