title: [Investigations in taeniasis patients on blood serum immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM and blastic lymphocyte transformation after phytohaemagglutinin (author's transl)].
abstract: In 49 patients suffering from taeniasis caused by T. saginata, the serum levels of the immunoglobulins, IgG, IgA, and IgM as well as the blastic lymphocyte transformation due to phytohaemagglutinin were determined. The studies were performed prior to treatment (1st testing) and at day 7 following administration of Yomesan (2nd testing). The results obtained were statistically evaluated by comparison with the results of control studies in 20 healthy persons. A statistically significant lowering of the IgA and IgM levels and of the percentage of blastic cells following lymphocyte stimulation by phytohaemagglutinin was demonstrated to be present in the patients by the 1st as well as the 2nd testing.
