Inhibition of human peripheral blood neutrophil respiratory burst by alcohol-based venipuncture site disinfection.

Ethanol inhibits the respiratory burst of neutrophils. Therefore, the effects of alcohol-based skin disinfection on oxygen metabolism in neutrophils were tested using 70% ethanol or an ethanol-isopropanol-n-propanol mixture. Neutrophil respiratory burst activity as assessed fluorometrically by oxidation of 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate increased at 10 min after disinfection with 70% ethanol compared to the activity at 30 s. The increase was significant for triggering oxidative burst with formyl-peptide but not with phorbol myristate acetate.[1]
