Rhagocyte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rhagocytes are neutrophilic granulocytes with microscopically detectable cytoplasmic inclusions . They can be used as diagnostic tools in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondylarthritis (SPA). For this purpose, a material sample is taken from the inflamed tissue, for example from an inflammatory knee effusion.
