ABSTRACT
Five and 15 days after T. cruzi infection, staphylococcal protein A was injected into a connective tissue air pouch of mice and the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocyrtes into the area was monitored. The PMN leukocyte response of 15-day infected mice was lower than of uninfected mice (P < 0.001) The 15 - day infected mice also showed a lower leukocyte response when compared to 5 - day infected mice (P < 0.001). These data suggest that chemotaxis defect development gradually during the acute phase of infection
