Bismuth in the Treatment of Syphilis

Cellular Response of Neutrophils to Bismuth Subnitrate and Micronized Keratin Products In Vitro

“…This could explain the low values of MPO observed in this study for the bismuth exposed neutrophils. Historically, bismuth subnitrate was used by intramuscular injection for treatment of syphilis [30]. If bismuth subnitrate had induced chemotaxis and activation of neutrophils when injected intramuscularly, the site of injection would have been swollen and inflamed.…”
