We used flow cytometry to measure the activities of
cathepsin G
and elastase. The activity of elastase in neutrophils from patients with
myelodysplastic syndrome
(
MDS
) was significantly lower than that in neutrophils from the control group (P<.001). Patients with low elastase activity were significantly susceptible to infection (P<. 05). Our study suggests that analyzing antibacterial enzymes is useful in evaluating the prognosis of patients with
MDS
.
