Circulating immune complexes in six patients with trichinosis.
The sera of six patients infected with Trichinella spiralis were studied for the presence of circulating immune complexes (CIC). CIC were present in all six patients studied 1 month after infection. In two patients in whom serial serum samples were available, as clinical improvement occurred there was a decrease in the level of CIC and an increase in the fluorescent antibody titres.
