title: Variation in serum immunoglobulin levels in acute trichinosis.
abstract: An early rise in serum IgE levels was observed in five of seven patients with acute primary trichinosis. Parallel increases in the total IgG, IgM, and Iga levels, as well as specific IgG and IgM antibody titres to Trichinella spiralis larval antigen, were detected in two. The elevated levels persisted long after the clinical recovery of the patients.
