[Immune humoral response in epilepsy].
In 68 epileptics in serum immunoglobulin level, antibodies against Kunin CA antigen, S. typhi O and viruses parainfluenzae type I, II and III were determined. The serum IgA leeel (-/x = 106.27, SE = 8.14) was lower than in controls (-/x = = 155.55, SE = 8.12). In 25% of epileptics the IgA level had raised IgG and low IgM levels in the serum. In epileptics the level of antibodies to parainfluenza virus III (-/xg = 71.52) was lower than in the control group (-/xg = 92.29). The investigations gave results which could not answer the question whether disturbances of immune humoral response in epileptics are primary or are due to immunosuppressive action of anticonvulsants.
