Serum immunoglobulins in patients with schistosomiasis mansoni.
The authors evaluated immunglobulins IgA, IgC and IgM in two groups of schistosomiasis patients, 20 presenting the hepato-intestinal form (HI) and 20 the hepatosplenic form (HS). The results indicated abnormalities in the following proportions: IgA: HI = 55% HS = 45% IgC: HI = 85% HS = 95% IgM: HI = 75% HS = 85% The authors compare the values of each immunoglobulin in the two groups of patients and evaluate their results.
